Chef's Notes

Buffalo sauce is a high sodium food and makes this recipe high in sodium. If you eat a low sodium diet, look for a low sodium buffalo sauce.
Substitutions (See the green box above in post for more info!)

Chicken – You can sub chicken for tuna if you’d like. Yogurt –  You can use any % fat (1, 2 or 5%) We haven’t tried dairy free yogurt but I think it would work.
Grilled Chicken – This salad is great with leftover grilled chicken.

Celery– Feel free to omit this, or substitute it with scallions, onions, or even chopped bell peppers.

I have made this recipe a few times since I discovered it, and I will be making it again for sure. So delicious!

Holly Pierson ★ 5.0/5

I made this and it came out great! Will make again.

Sally ★ 5.0/5

We loved it!!

Alison Greenberg ★ 5.0/5

This was DELICIOUS. I left out the parsley and accidentally put in a little too much yogurt but it was still fantastic. It made hefty servings and lasted well in the fridge all week. Will 100% be making this recipe again!

Melissa Murphy ★ 5.0/5

Yummy and easy to make!

Jordan ★ 5.0/5

I put in too much fresh parsley, and half a red onion. I’m big on crunchy texture, and this hit the spot. I just ate this in three servings, I feel like it gets better every day in the fridge! Recommend reduced fat crackers if you’re tracking macros. Will definitely make again!!

Gail ★ 5.0/5

I used hellmanns mayo instead of yogurt...used what was left from Rotisserie chicken

Elizabeth Taylor ★ 5.0/5

Today I made this again with feta instead of blue cheese because it was what I had. I definitely prefer blue cheese, but if you don't like blue cheese, you should try the feta because it's still really tasty!!

Kyle ★ 5.0/5

This is delicious! I am not a fan of Greek yogurt so I was skeptical but the Buffalo sauce and spices mask it completely.

Laura ★ 5.0/5

This was absolutely delicious! I will be making this frequently - even my husband loved it!

Sarah ★ 5.0/5

ElizabethTaylor ★ 5.0/5

This is so amazing!! I really feel like I could eat the whole bowl! I didn't have fresh parsley, so I used dried like recommended and it turned out great.

Dawn Cianci ★ 5.0/5

Is there something I can I use if I do not eat yogurt? I appreciate it!
