2 celery ribs, chopped
1 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup fat-free ranch salad dressing

Helpful Hints:

Delicious, and even better—quick! This buffalo chicken salad is a summer staple at our house. Sometimes we cook the chicken on the grill, then sprinkle the hot sauce over it with the dressing, because you've gotta have that kick!
