It’s no secret that we love buffalo chicken at our house! At least once a month we order a box of 20 buffalo chicken fingers from a little local place called Joe Rooster’s. It costs us about $20 (which includes a pint of ranch….we LOVE their ranch). And then I usually bake some fries to go with them. And this is usually enough to feed us for 2 1/2 to 3 meals.
Now sometimes we’ll eat a couple of meals, and we’ll have 2 or 3 chicken fingers left. Obviously that’s not enough to feed both of us, so we’ll either make the fingers a part of our leftover buffet meal, or I’ll chop them up and throw them into a salad. Hubby likes a good salad, but when whenever he’s dieting, salads get old really quick! This way we get to combine his favorite food with something healthy. And everyone is happy!
For this salad, I used about half of bag of salad mix. Then I chopped up my chicken, and topped it with ranch dressing. Hubby also likes bleu cheese dressing sometimes. And if you want a little more kick you can pour additional buffalo sauce over the salad. (I recommend Franks.) This is also great for plain chicken fingers. I like to top them with ranch or honey mustard!
Do you have a favorite salad? Got any strategies to add excitement to your salads? I’d love to hear your ideas!

This sounds scrumptious!! 😀 I love buffalo chicken! 😀
We love salads and my husband would be drooling already if he read this post! : )
How wrong is it that I kept trying to figure out what a finger salad was (like finger foods). Yikes! 🙂
I love making my own dressings. They taste so much better than store bought ones, but … that's as exciting as I get 🙂
We love, Love, LOVE Buffalo chicken at our house!! This sounds like a great combo!!
Thanks for sharing! I found you via Beauty and Bedlam's Tasty Tuesday!!
Looks sooo good! I had this salad not too long ago that had this lemon mustard vinaigrette that was sooooo good and tangy and a little spicy – I would eat anything if it was covered in that dressing. I'm breaking my brain try to recreate it!! We'll see, maybe tonight will be the lucky night! haha
Yum! Looks delicious! Can I come to your house for lunch??
Oh Jerri this looks SO good!! I need some new salad recipes…thanks!!
Thanks for linking up and have a GREAT weekend!!
My kids love buffalo chicken- a salad is a great idea!
We also do this very same thing..sometimes with the spicy chicken…sometimes with just the regular. Great salad!
That sounds delicious! love buffalo chicken!
Very delish looking! As the weather gets warmer we will definitely eat more dinner salads – add a little Ranch and even the kids gobble it up! Thanks!
Some of the best recipes come from leftovers – and this looks like a winner!
I love this idea. My hubby makes really good buffalo wings so this will work great for us! Thanks! You have so many great looking, and sounding, recipes!
Hi I'm stopping by from FF. This is a good idea – thanks for the tip on the best Buffalo dressing – they can vary so much.
I'm eating salads these days (due to overindulging in cookies all winter), and this one is going into my "to do immediately" file. Thanks for joining us at FF.

Yah, I am eating salads too. I create them. My favorite is blueberries on spinach with a precooked chicken breast chopped up and Good Seasons Italian dressing. I just start with the lettuce and the dressing and mix up the ingredients frequently. Now if I could quit eating as I cook for everyone else I would have it made.
