COOKING STEPS
- Wash and cut the salad greens, cabbage and celery.
- Prepare and measure out all the other ingredients.
- Open the pack of Pioneer Poultry Smoked Chicken Breast Fillets. Before cutting, brush the fillets with a little cayenne pepper powder or hot sauce (to taste).
- Cut the chicken fillets into smaller bite-size pieces.
- Create the dressing. In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, crumbled blue cheese, yogurt, milk, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until well-blended. Set aside.
- In a salad bowl, combine the cabbage, mixed greens and celery stalks. Toss in the blue cheese cubes. (Toss in the walnuts as well, if you’re using them.)
- Gently toss or fold the salad green mix with about 1 cup of the salad dressing. Salt and pepper to taste. (Add a spritz of lemon juice, if desired.)
- Serve the salad with the remaining salad dressing in a separate bowl on the side for anyone who wants more of it.
