Recipe Ingredients

Ingredients for Buffalo Chicken Cobb Salad.

Romaine lettuce - I love using Romaine lettuce for that extra crisp. Sometimes I mix it with spinach for added nutrition.
Shredded chicken - I typically just bake chicken breasts and then shred with forks. Super easy!
Buffalo wing sauce - This buffalo sauce is my favorite and I put it on everything!
Tomatoes - You can use whatever tomatoes you would like...Heirloom, grape, plum...all are great!
Eggs - I use farm raised, organic eggs in this salad.
Avocado - Definitely my favorite fruit! Avocados make the perfect addition to so many meals!
Cucumber - Very light and crunchy, it wouldn't be a proper salad without cucumbers!
Ranch dressing or Bleu Cheese dressing - My first choice will always be ranch dressing. Personally, I don't care for bleu cheese at all, in anything. I love this ranch dressing when I don't make it myself.
