Buffalo Shrimp Salad

When I make salad, I love for it to be loaded with toppings.  I don't eat salad for the tasty greens, I eat it for the fattening dressing, tons of toppings and feeling like I made a good choice.  However, those types of salads don't usually do much for my diet, so here we are...  This salad, however, is nice and healthy and tasted great!  It's got the feeling of having wings since it features celery, ranch, blue cheese, and a spicy protein.  I'll have to keep this tasty recipe in the back of my mind next time I'm craving wings.  :)  I made this during the day, so Michael hasn't tried it yet, but I'm giving it two big thumbs up!  I love shrimp, which was probably what drew me to this recipe in the first place.  I don't do a lot of spicy foods, generally, but this had so much flavor with the heat I didn't mind the spice.  Now, let me lay some truth on you.  The original recipe wanted me to add hot sauce to the ranch for the spicy ranch.  For those of you who don't know, "buffalo" sauces are heated with Tabasco.  I don't really care for the taste of Tabasco, so instead, I added Buffalo Wild Wings' Asian Zing sauce to the ranch (yogurt-ranch to be exact, still tastes pretty good though, and less guilt always tastes good).  ;)  So if you don't mind not telling my hubby that, I'd appreciate it.  :P  There's plenty in this recipe for him to like, I don't want him downgrading it for the Asian Zing sauce, which is perfect spicy and sweet and makes the dressing phenomenal!  :D  So go check out the link below and try this recipe sometime soon!  (And Mama, I'm sure it would be good with chicken too.)  ;)
