Instructions:

Buffalo Chicken:

Buffalo Deviled Eggs:

1. Prepare the Eggs: Peel the hard-boiled eggs, cut them in half, and remove the yolks. Place the yolks in a mixing bowl.

2. Make the Filling: Mash the yolks and combine them with mayonnaise, buffalo sauce, Dijon mustard, and vinegar. Mix until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Fill the Eggs: Spoon or pipe the buffalo filling into the egg whites. Garnish with chopped chives or green onions and a sprinkle of paprika if desired.

Assemble the Salad:

1. Prepare the Salad Base: In a large salad bowl or platter, layer the mixed greens.

2. Add the Toppings: Arrange the buffalo chicken, blue cheese crumbles, shredded cheddar, avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, bacon (if using), and celery (optional).

3. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together ranch dressing, buffalo sauce, honey (if using), and salt and pepper. Drizzle over the salad.

4. Serve: Arrange the buffalo deviled eggs on top of the salad or serve them on the side. Serve the salad immediately.

Tips:

Buffalo Sauce: Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce based on how spicy you like your salad and eggs.

Customizations: You can add or remove ingredients like cucumbers, olives, or other veggies based on your taste preferences.

This salad combines rich, creamy textures with the heat of buffalo sauce, making it a hearty, satisfying meal. The buffalo deviled eggs add an extra kick and richness that pairs perfectly with the salad.
