Buffalo Chicken Pasta Salad

This is combination of a few recipes I looked through to make a healthier version of a supermarket deli favorite that is filled with fat and calories. You can use a rotisserie chicken and store shredded carrots to make this even quicker. To make if more filling I take finely shredded romaine lettuce and mix it with the serving of salad.

Directions

  1. Shred chicken into chunks or chop into small pieces and set aside.
  2. Cook the pasta as directed on box, rinse with cold water and set aside.
  3. In a small bowl mix the yogurt, hot sauce, ranch mix, pepper and blend until smooth.
  4. In a large bowl mix the pasta, chicken, celery, carrot and add the sauce until combined.
  5. Can be eaten right after made but if you refrigerate for a few hours the flavors all combine.
