Buffalo Chicken Pasta Salad
This Buffalo Chicken Pasta Salad has all the elements to make a perfect meal. Spicy chicken, cool dressing, crunchy vegetables and creamy, sharp bleu cheese.
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Rotini, or other pasta
- 3 cups Chicken, cooked and cubed
- ½ cup Green Onions, sliced
- ½ cup Celery, diced
- ½ cup Blue Cheese, crumbled
- ½ cup Buffalo Wing Sauce
- ⅓ cup Mayonnaise
- ⅓ cup Sour Cream
- ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ½ teaspoon Onion Powder
Instructions
- First boil the pasta in lightly salted water to al dente according to package directions. When it is done cooking drain in a colander and rinse for several minutes with cold water to cool the pasta completely.
- While the pasta is cooking chop the chicken into bite size pieces and place in a large mixing bowl. Pour a little buffalo wing sauce over the chicken and stir to coat.
- Add mayonnaise, sour cream, onion powder, and garlic powder to the mixing bowl. Add in buffalo wing sauce, if you like a more mild buffalo taste use ¼ of a cup, if you like it hotter add more, up to ½ of a cup. Mix thoroughly.
- Add in pasta and stir to coat thoroughly. Fold in blue cheese, green onions and celery until well incorporated.
- Keep covered and refrigerated until ready to serve.
