Buffalo Chicken Grilled Salad




Yield: 4 small salads

Ingredients

For the buttermilk dressing:

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 6 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives, minced
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • salt & pepper

Instructions

Combine the buttermilk dressing ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. The flavor will be best if you do this a day ahead and store in the refrigerator.

Preheat your grill for high heat (450°F) direct and indirect grilling. Cut the romaine in half, lengthwise. Grill, cut side down until lightly charred, but not too soft. Place the romaine in the fridge to chill.

Season the chicken mildly with R Butts R Smokin’ Butt Kick’n Chicken. Grill over direct heat on both sides to achieve nice grill marks, then finish cooking over indirect heat, if necessary. Use an instant read thermometer to monitor the internal temperature. Remove the chicken from the grill when the internal temperature reaches 160°F. Rest 5 minutes. Dice and toss in Bone Suckin' Honey & Habanero Wing Sauce.

Dice the lettuce. Combine the lettuce, tomato and red onion. Place in bowls and top with the buffalo chicken and buttermilk dressing.
