Buffalo Chicken Salad Lettuce Cups

This Buffalo Chicken Salad Lettuce Cups recipe is quick, easy and doesn’t require cooking. It’s the perfect easy and healthy lunch recipe.

Is there anything better than some buff chix?

I’ve been super obsessed with chicken salad ever since I made this chicken salad meal prep recipe.

Since buffalo chicken is the best fall combination ever, I’ve been wanting to try a recipe like this for a while. And I’m so glad I finally did!

It’s not the most innovative recipe ever – I’ve heard of multiple people making it on Instagram. Now I know why. These Buffalo Chicken Salad Lettuce Cups are super duper easy to make and require no cooking. Score!

I like buying the smoked, fully cooked and shredded chicken from Costco. However, you can also make any quick chicken salad recipe with rotisserie chicken from the grocery store.

The addition of carrots and celery add the best crunch to this chicken salad, which is perfect served in lettuce cups.

Of course, you can also make an amazing wrap and sandwich out of this buffalo chicken salad.

Now of course I grew up on Miracle Whip and ham sandwiches, but I know some people have some weirdness about mayonnaise.

I was so excited when I first tried Veganaise. It’s a thinner consistency than some very gelatinous mayonnaise, and a more mild flavor. It’s the best mayonnaise alternative I have found!

It’s also suuuuper easy to make your own mayonnaise. Look it up!

So, next time you need a quick no-bake lunch recipe, give these Buffalo Chicken Salad Lettuce Cups a try!

They keep very well in the fridge, so you can even make these ahead of time to pack for lunch.

Happy cooking.
