Buffalo Chicken Pasta Salad

This healthier buffalo chicken pasta salad combines tangy yogurt, buffalo sauce, crunchy vegetables and chicken into a creamy side that's great for summer.

📝 Ingredients

• 1 pound chicken breasts (cubed and cooked (*see note))
• 6 ounces dry small shell pasta (or any small shape)
• 1/2 red onion (finely chopped, about 75g)
• 3 stalks celery (finely chopped, about 100g)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Cook the chicken (*see note below) if starting with raw chicken instead of pre-cooked chicken.
2. 2Cook the pasta according to package directions. I like to leave it al dente by about 1 minute for this salad.
3. 3Whisk together the yogurt and buffalo wing sauce in a large bowl that you'll be preparing and storing or serving the salad in.
4. 4Add the cooked chicken, cooked pasta and all the remaining ingredients to the bowl.
