Meal Prep Buffalo Chicken Salad

I know life is busy- especially this time of the year. And I know as mamas, we often times put everyone else first before ourselves (it’s what we do, right?). But in order to be the best moms we can be, we need to be fueled! It’s easy to just snack all day long or survive off of the odds and ends of our kids lunches when life gets crazy. But the better fueled you are, the easier it is to take on all mom life has in store. Which is why I love easy, meal-preppable or quick to make lunches, like this easy, prep-friendly buffalo chicken salad.

It’s perfect in lettuce cups or in a wrap with some crunchy romaine lettuce- and it takes five minutes to make (especially if you use rotisserie chicken or prepped shredded chicken!). Enjoy!

Meal Prep Buffalo Chicken Salad
Makes 3-4 servings

2/3 cup good quality mayonnaise (see notes for a lightened up version)
2 tbsp Frank’s red hot or Buffalo sauce (more to make it spicier!)
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
pinch salt
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 green onions, sliced
1/4 cup diced red onion
2 1/2 cups pre-cooked chicken
crumbled blue cheese, to serve

1. In a large bowl, whisk mayonnaise, hot sauce garlic powder, onion powder and salt. 
2. Stir in celery, green onions and chicken. 
3. Season to taste and serve on top of lettuce wraps or in a wrap (I recommend some crunchy romaine in the wrap) with crumbled blue cheese. 

Note: Lighten this recipe up using 1/2 (1/3 cup) mayonnaise and 1/2 (1/3 cup) greek yogurt- or use all greek yogurt!
