Ingredients
1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
3/4 cup cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or leftover)
2–3 tablespoons Buffalo sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
1–2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or ranch dressing (optional, for creaminess)
1/4 cup diced celery
1/4 cup diced cucumber or halved cherry tomatoes
1 tablespoon crumbled blue cheese or feta (optional)
1 tablespoon chopped green onion or chives
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Optional toppings:
Sliced avocado
Hard-boiled egg, sliced
Sliced jalapeños
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix shredded chicken with Buffalo sauce and Greek yogurt or ranch, if using. Adjust seasoning or spice level as desired.
Spoon cottage cheese into a serving bowl to form the base.
Top with prepared Buffalo chicken.
Layer on celery, cucumber or tomatoes, green onion, and any desired toppings like blue cheese, avocado, or jalapeños.
Drizzle with extra Buffalo sauce or ranch if desired.

Swap chicken for shredded tofu or tempeh for a vegetarian twist.
