Buffalo Chicken Salad and Pretzels

I would like to tell you how much I love the Snyder's Buffalo Wing flavored pretzel pieces. Once I start eating them, I keep going back for a few more. Rather than eating the whole bag myself, I thought about how I could use these differently. I decided to use them as croutons for a Buffalo Chicken salad and they gave a fantastic flavor and crunch to the dish. Snyder's website describes these as "Generous chunks of our Sourdough Hard Pretzels bursting with intense flavor combinations... like the spicy flavor of hot sauce seasoned with cayenne peppers and paprika. Because if you like the red-hot taste of real, five-alarm buffalo wings, you'll love our bite-size Hot Buffalo Wing Pieces!" So, rather than spicing the chicken, I used the pretzels for the Buffalo Wing flavor. This was a huge hit and very tasty! And when you don't want the mess of chicken wings, but still want the flavor, this has some healthiness attached to it along with the flavor.
