Buffalo Chicken Dip Salad
This Buffalo Chicken Dip Salad is made using my easy Buffalo Chicken Dip recipe (click here!), allllll the salad fixings and finished off with homemade Ranch Dressing (click here!). It’s easy to customize and is packed with both nutrients and flavor.
MAKE IT YOUR OWN!
Since salads are made for customizing, feel free to use any and all of your favorite salad fixings for this. For this recipe, I always reach for:
- Mixed Greens
- Cucumbers
- Cherry Tomatoes

This recipe can easily be made vegan by swapping the chicken for chickpeas and the mayo for vegan mayo.

Dairy Free Buffalo Chicken Dip
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast
- ¼ cup hot sauce or buffalo sauce (I use The New Primal or Cholula)
- ¼ cup + 1 tbsp avocado oil mayo
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
Instructions
- Cook chicken. I choose to boil mine in a pot on the stove with water covering the chicken and bring it to a boil, covered for 10 minutes.
- Shred the chicken then mix in the avocado mayo, hot sauce/buffalo sauce and spices.
- Serve with celery sticks, crackers or chips! Is also great in a salad, a wrap or inside a baked potato.
Whole30 Homemade Ranch Dressing
Ingredients
- ½ cup compliant avocado oil mayo (I use my homemade recipe! I have options for vegan & paleo)
- ¼ cup compliant coconut milk (I like to use light canned to keep it smooth; omit for a dinning sauce!
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp chives
- 1 tbsp cilantro
- ¼ tsp dill
- 1 tsp lime juice
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Finely chop chives, cilantro and dill, juice lime and mix all ingredients together.
- Refrigerate covered for 4-7 days! If you use dried spices, it may last longer.
I made this and ate it in two days. I had to stop myself after the first day. This is good warm and cold. I thought I would eat it on a salad, but ended up eating with carrots, celery, and the ranch also in this recipe. Everything was SO good. I wish I made more. I will probably make more this week. 100% so good and fulfilling for whole30. Did not feel like I was missing out on anything with this and could easily make as a dish to bring to gatherings, potlucks, or parties!
I LOVE hearing this, Izzy! I am so happy you love this recipe as much as I do. I also could eat the whole recipe in one day! Thank you so much for this kind review and for making my recipe! 🙂
