This light, vitamin-packed salad incorporates ingredients from America's famous buffalo wings and captures their beloved flavor. Unlike crispy wings, the chicken pieces for this salad, pre-smeared with a spicy sauce, are grilled in the oven rather than fried in a huge amount of oil. Combine them with a salad of romaine lettuce, carrots, and celery, and drizzle with homemade blue cheese dressing. This buffalo salad is perfect for even those watching their weight and diet.

Blue cheese dressing
Fold a full sheet of paper towel in 4 and place it in a small bowl. Place the yogurt on the paper towel and refrigerate for 20 minutes to absorb excess liquid and thicken it. In a medium bowl, stir the sour milk and thick yogurt into the mayonnaise. Add the vinegar and sugar and continue whisking until thoroughly combined. Then stir in the cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.
