Grilled Romaine Buffalo Chicken Salad
This Grilled Romaine Buffalo Chicken Salad is easy to make and makes the perfect easy meal!
Disclosure: I was provided with a gift certificate to facilitate my post with Aldi. All opinions and love for Aldi are my own.
As I wrote about before, I love Aldi. I shop there for most of my groceries besides produce (I do buy some produce from Aldi but go to a fruit and vegetable market as well to get everything that I need. I wanted to create a recipe using all Aldi ingredients.
I have been wanting to grill romaine lettuce for at least a couple of years and finally got to do so. It is quite unique. The romaine stays crisp but gets that delicious smoky, grilled flavor. I would definitely make it again.
We had my sister Natalie over for dinner and she enjoyed this recipe as well. My husband could not stop raving about how good it was. It is simple too and only takes about 15-20 minutes to make.
This recipe is not only delicious but it is also affordable. I used all Aldi products including their romaine hearts ($1.99 for 3), Burman's hot sauce ($0.85), Happy Farms blue cheese crumles ($1.99-great deal for blue cheese), Kirkwood frozen chicken breasts ($6.99 for 48 oz) and Aldi ranch and corn on the cob.
