    Love hot sauce and chicken! Great combo. I will have to try this except I will substitute blue cheese with feta because feta isn't too ... strong. Lol

    Try this wing sauce: http://www.presidentschoice.ca/LCLOnline/products.jsp?type=details&catIds=106&productId=17862

    Honestly - It's amazing! Practically no cals, and so versatile. We use it in fried rice to serve as a side dish with vegetables, mix it with fat-free ranch salad dressing for a buffalo style salad or to have as a sauce on wraps, basically anything you want to taste like buffalo wings. Freaking life saver!

    Beware - the mild is spicy. The hot is WAY too hot.

    I would just like to say that I made this the other night (with the blue cheese!) and it was AMAZING. So good! I shared it with some friends for dinner. And, now I made it again tonight! :-) Thanks for the recipe! It's a keeper.

    I've been making this salad twice a week for the past two years. LOVE IT! Except I mix 1 tbs. of blue cheese dressing with more wing sauce so and drizzle that over the greens. Cuts back the fat and just adds extra goodness!
