Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons nonfat plain yogurt
2 tablespoons low-fat buttermilk
1 tablespoon reduced-fat mayonnaise
1/2 tablespoon white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon sugar
2 -3 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese (about an ounce)
fresh ground pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons hot sauce
2 teaspoons canola oil
2 (8 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 romaine lettuce hearts, cut into 1-inch strips (about 8 cups)
3 celery ribs, sliced
2 carrots, sliced
2 green onions, green part only, sliced
sliced mushrooms
diced tomato
low fat bacon bits

Steps:

  • Fold one sheet of paper towel into quarters and place on a small plate. Spoon yogurt onto paper towel and refrigerate for about 20 minutes. This will allow it to drain and thicken.
  • Whisk buttermilk, thickened yogurt and mayonnaise until smooth. Add vinegar and sugar and combine well. Stir in blue cheese and pepper, to taste.
  • Combine hot sauce and oil. Add chicken and coat well. Barbecue chicken until cooked through. Cut chicken into bite size pieces for the salad.
  • Place salad ingredients on plates. Top with dressing and chicken. Serve with extra hot sauce, if desired.
