At this time of year, warm and cozy dishes seem to get all of the attention! From soups, to pastas, and everything in between, it feels like sometimes we forget about eating salads during this season! I don’t know about you, but I still crave some freshness in the midst of all the cozy! A good fall salad is one of my favorite dishes to make and I took one of my favorite wedge salads and turned it into the most delicious autumn wedge salad that you have ever tasted! My Autumn wedge salad with green goddess dressing is perfect for any night of the week, but also makes a great addition to any holiday menu too!
I crave wings like most grown men crave wings and I like to blame that on my husband because I didn't really find a true love for the food until we were together. Wings happen to be one of his favorite go to "splurge" meals and I usually join in on the festivities. You aren't surprised are you? And because I love them so much I decided that I needed to make them at home and that way I could make them a little healthier. So I started making grilled buffalo chicken wings and wedge salads for a side.
I have told you before, but just in case you didn't know, we have an awesome farmer's market where I live and one of the chicken farmers sells skinless wings! They are so delicious and with the skin gone it cuts down on fat immediately. I get them almost every week because I love them so much. If you can't find skinless, don't worry you are still going to healthier with this recipe! Instead of frying the wings, I grill them and then instead of French fries or some other unhealthy side we usually end up getting, I make a salad inspired by the blue cheese dressing and celery served with traditional wings.
It's the perfect light summer meal and it satisfies that wing craving that I get so much and I don't have to feel bad about it at all. If you are a little skeptic, it's ok just give them a try and see for yourself!
