Ingredients

4 servings

For the chicken

1 ½ lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp avocado oil

For the buffalo sauce

⅓ cup hot sauce (such as frank's redhot original, verified whole30-compliant)
2 tbsp ghee
1 tsp apple cider vinegar

For the special sauce

½ cup raw cashews, soaked in water for at least 2 hours, then drained
¼ cup water
2 tbsp hot sauce (such as frank's redhot original, verified whole30-compliant)
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp salt

For the bowls

2 heads romaine lettuce, chopped
2 medium carrots, shredded or julienned
3 stalks celery, thinly sliced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 avocado, sliced
2 green onions (green tops only), thinly sliced (optional)

Instructions

1
Soak the cashews in enough cold water to cover by 2 inches for at least 2 hours, then drain and rinse. (If short on time, cover with boiling water and soak for 30 minutes.)
2
Make the special sauce: combine the drained cashews, 1/4 cup water, 2 tbsp hot sauce, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and 1/4 tsp salt in a blender. Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy, about 60–90 seconds, scraping down the sides once. The sauce should be pourable but thick enough to coat a spoon. Set aside.
