Notes

Buffalo sauce is a high sodium food and makes this recipe high in sodium. If you eat a low sodium diet, look for a low sodium buffalo sauce.

Substitutions (See the green box above in post for more info!)

Chicken - You can sub chicken for tuna if you'd like.
Yogurt - You can use any % fat (1, 2 or 5%) We haven't tried dairy free yogurt but I think it would work.

Grilled Chicken - This salad is great with leftover grilled chicken.

Celery- Feel free to omit this, or substitute it with scallions, onions, or even chopped bell peppers.
