Buttermilk Buffalo Chicken Wedge Salad

If you need a fun, healthier option for your game day party, try this buffalo chicken wedge salad. The dressing for this salad has buttermilk, blue cheese and scallions (YUM) and then we have the iceberg lettuce that’s topped with a buffalo chicken salad with celery, carrot and more scallions.
I love this recipe because you can take what you want from it (ie: serve the chicken salad by itself or just use the dressing on roasted potatoes) OR you can make this bombbbbb salad, which I think you will love.
