Hey y’all! Football season will be here very soon which means tailgates, parties and tasty food! Add this super easy recipe to the appetizer menu. It’s a great way to get in veggies and still get that delicious Buffalo flavor that we all love. And the best part is that it only takes 15 minutes to make!
I added celery and carrots because every time I eat Buffalo wings, it always comes with celery and carrot sticks. I was really going for the full effect here. You can always use shredded chicken here which would be perfect! Another option is to throw everything in a bowl and eat it as a salad. That works too. Any type of lettuce can be used here so choose your favorite.
The good in this? Since this is basically a salad….all of the veggies provide fiber which aid in digestion and helps keep our gut bacteria in check. Enjoy!
