My sweet grandmother, Momo, made the BEST CHICKEN SALAD EVER! Seriously. Each time she made it, everyone was excited because she didn’t make it often. Honestly, I think I asked her about 20 times what her recipe was but I still cannot remember the exact ingredients she used. Creamy, crunchy, and decadent. My Momo passed away last May and her food is a legacy. Every time I’m in the kitchen cooking, I feel she’s right there with me, making me laugh and telling me that I’m doing a good job. I could write a book about how her food and her love made an impact on me, but that’s for another time when I have the strength to write about her without having a complete emotional break down.

So, my chicken salad has the same concept of the classic chicken salad that you are used to seeing, but it’s healthified. Lately, I have been trying to see what types of recipes I can make-over and infused buffalo flavor into (maybe because it’s football season again!). While brainstorming on how to make chicken salad healthy, I decided to make-over the classic recipe using all the buffalo wing ingredients.

A quick and flavorful way to make chicken is to roast it in the oven. I like to do this on Sunday that way I have chicken breast on hand and readily available throughout the week. For this recipe, I made my Oven Roasted Chicken Breast. The chicken breast is cooked to perfection and packed with flavor.

The basic ingredients of chicken salad is mayo, celery, green onion, and mustard. Since this version is healthy, I used fat free Greek yogurt with a small amount of reduced fat mayo. To make this buffalo style, I added buffalo sauce (duh), celery, green onion, carrots, lemon juice, seasonings, and feta cheese. I’m not a huge fan of blue cheese, so I used feta cheese instead (you can totally use blue cheese if you want)! After all the ingredients are mixed, put in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours so the flavors can combined and incorporate together.

This salad wrap is a unique twist on classic chicken salad without the guilt. Flavorful chicken mixed with buffalo sauce and fresh veggies make for a great lunch or dinner idea. This would be a great meal prep recipe to make on Sunday to have for a quick lunch throughout the week!

I hope you enjoy these bites of flavor!
