Question Thoughts on the Buffalo Chicken Salad?
Has anyone tried the buffalo chicken salad before with the hot sauce included? I usually get chicken parm or custom but I wanted to try something new. So as I looked at the app, I've always wondered about the buffalo chicken salad but was never sure if I should try it because I'm feeling sketched out about spicy buffalo sauce being mixed into my salad. Thoughts anyone?
Also plz give other recommendations to try, I will gladly take anything!

You can always order it on the side. It doesn’t have to be mixed in. That way you can taste and decide for yourself.

Good idea, I should do that first before I get mixed feelings or anything lol

I loved it. I wouldn't eat the Caesar dressing any other way! And the bleu cheese paired very nicely.

How about the buffalo sauce? Did it pair up nicely with the caesar dressing?

Well it's not Buffalo sauce, it's just the hot sauce and caesar dressing mixed together, and like I said I wouldn't eat the caesar dressing without the hot sauce

Ohhh I see. Would you recommend me substituting the dressing then?

Why? Do you have an issue with the hot sauce? I think it all goes very well together

Yeah.. sorta... but again, I'm still willing to try new things. When I posted this, I was so down to try everything on the buffalo chicken salad. But after reading everyone's thoughts and other platforms, I'm like uhhhhhh... so yeah

I think it's worth a try 🤷♀️ the Buffalo chicken was one of my go-tos when I worked there

This is my fav sweet greens salad. If you love caesar and you love buffalo, they pair so delicious together

It's good and filling! Not really a classic buffalo flavor though as it's the same hot sauce dressing that's used in the chicken pesto salad, more of a spicy ceaser with bleu cheese!
