I adore Chicken Salads of any kind and I think one of my absolute favorites has to be Buffalo Chicken Salad. With its rich and creamy blue cheese dressing, combined with the moist and juicy, spiced grilled chicken, as well as plenty of crisp fresh vegetables, this salad always goes down very well with everyone I serve it to.
It does require marinating the chicken for two hours minimum (overnight is preferred) but, once you have done that, assembling the salad goes very quickly. I love the rich and creamy homemade blue cheese dressing. I call it tangy perfection.
If you get everything together ahead of time, you can refrigerate all of the ingredients in separate airtight containers as well, making for a really quick supper, ready to throw together at the last minute. (I would not peel or slice the avocado until just before serving in that case.)
