Good morning everyone .Pat I'm with you, I've had it with this winter wonderland.  I know we have been really lucky with the weather this winter, but I want warmth and flowers.  OK my whinefest is over.

Cc, what is av's buffalo chicken salad?  Sounds good 

AV is Angry Viking that post on other boards.  I've seen her recipe posted a few times, I'd not use canned chicken but then that's just me.  LOL 

1 can chunk chicken breast

2 oz. reduced fat crumbled blue cheese

1/2 packet Hidden Valley Ranch

6 oz. (or one of the small tubs) of plain Greek yogurt

chopped onion/celery

Frank's Red Hot to taste

Sounds good but as you said better with fresh chicken

I use leftover roasted chicken.   

Would you use a cup or two with the rest of her recipe or you just sort of wing it with all the ingredients with whatever you have on hand? I made a hot buffalo chicken dip a few years ago that was posted on here and it was quite tasty but I preferred it cold to hot.  It said to use canned chicken as well but I used leftover chicken breast.

I measure 8oz of white meat, 2 slices blue cheese crumbled, 150g plain Greek yogurt, 1/2 package Simply Organic dry ranch dressing, 1 1/2 celery stocks, 1 green onion, 1 tbsp hot sauce. Chop and mix and divide by 4. I plugged the recipe into MFP so that I can add it to my food diary. I like it cold on cucumber rounds and sometimes add an additional shake of hot sauce. That recipe makes the consistency I like. Everyone has different taste, but I enjoy spicy more than sweet foods. Sometimes I put a sprinkle of cayenne in my hot chocolate.

8 oz in weight or 8 oz as in 1 cup?  Am guessing weight since you normally eat 2 oz at a time.  I much prefer spicy over sweet any day. I have some leftover chicken in the fridge so might make something similar to this up, no blue cheese in the house but am sure it's just as good without it.  I bought 2 english cukes this week since they were 99 cents vs the 2.29 they wanted last week for them.

8 oz in weight, I have a kitchen scale.  Tracey if you have some Roquefort dressing you could probably sub that for the blue cheese crumbles.  I couldn't find the crumbles in the store I went to so I bought the Castello small slices and used 2 of them.  It was just enough blue cheese without being overpowering.  I also add lashing of freshly ground pepper, no salt, it's salty enough.  Any chicken that doesn't get added to the recipe gets put in a sandwich for DH or thrown in a bag and put in the freezer for chicken soup or curry or a la king, or paprikash (you get the idea).
