Buffalo Chicken Pasta Salad in a small glass bowl with a bottle of hot sauce in background

I LOVE hot sauce. I put that spicy goodness on just about everything.  Sandwiches, eggs, salad, soup, vegetables, and my FAVORITE….cottage cheese.  I’ve never met a hot sauce I didn’t like, but my usual go-to is Franks.

Summer is quickly approaching, and pasta salads are always a hot commodity at gathers.  Give this zesty pasta salad a go and I guarantee people will be begging you for the recipe. It is just THAT GOOD!Buffalo Chicken Pasta Salad ingredients in bowls

    1. I know! Isn’t Franks the BEST!

  2. My kids won’t eat spicy foods. Is there something I can replace the hot sauce with for them? Maybe Ranch dressing or mayo? Let me know your thoughts.

    1. I think ranch would be great, or a maybe a mixture or ranch and a completely mild salsa?

  3. I’m not a blue cheese fan, is there a cheese I can use instead of blue cheese? Are usually get ranch dressing with buffalo wings. Thank you so much!

    1. I think cubes of cheddar would by a yummy substitute. You could also just leave the cheese out and mix in some ranch dressing too. 🙂
