Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
  • 6 cups mixed salad greens such as romaine, spinach, and arugula
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/2 cup cucumber sliced

  5. In a bowl, toss the salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and shredded carrots together.
