Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups Rotisserie Chicken (shredded) Tender, juicy, and flavorful, this chicken serves as the heart of the salad.
  • 1 cup Cucumber (chopped) Crisp and refreshing, adds delightful crunch.
  • 1 cup Bell Pepper (chopped) Choose vibrant orange or red for sweetness.
  • 1 cup Greek Yogurt (2% milkfat) Acts as a creamy, protein-rich base.
  • 1/2 cup Feta Cheese (fat-free preferred) Adds a salty kick enhancing the flavor.
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro (chopped) Contributes a fresh herbal note.
  • 1 tablespoon Taco Seasoning Adds depth and excitement.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by shredding the rotisserie chicken using two forks or your fingers, removing any bones or skin.
  2. Chop the cucumber and bell peppers into uniform pieces for an even blend of flavors.
Mixing
  1. In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt, taco seasoning, chopped cilantro, and buffalo sauce, stirring until mixed.
  2. Toss the shredded chicken and chopped veggies into the sauce bowl and mix gently until coated.
Serving
  1. Enjoy the salad immediately for a fresh experience, or refrigerate for a few hours to let the flavors meld.

Notes

Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. For extra spice, add more buffalo sauce or cayenne pepper. This salad is great for meal prep; store dressing separately to keep veggies crisp.
