1

Make the dressing. Combine all ingredients except blue cheese in a bowl and mix well. Stir in the Feta Cheese and place in the fridge while you make the salads.
2

Make the Buffalo Sauce. Combine the melted butter, olive oil, hot sauce and seasoned salt in a medium size bowl. Whisk the combine and set aside.
3

In another bowl combine the quinioa, mashed cannellini beans, bread crumbs, egg whites, salt, pepper and 4 tablespoon of the Buffalo Sauce. Mix Well to moisten the ingredients and then form into 30-35 equal size balls( 1 tablespoon of the quinoa mixture). Squeeze the balls together tightly with your hands, being careful.
4

Place balls on a cooking sheet. Preheat oven to 425 and bake for 25 minutes. Gently toss about 10 balls at a time with the buffalo sauce or you can dip each in the sauce as well if you are afraid to balls will crumble.

To assemble the salads, combine lettuce, carrots in bowl or on plate. Season lightly with salt and pepper, then toss. Top with an equal amount of green onions , then add the buffalo quinoa bites on top. Cover with feta cheese, then drizzle with the dressing and add any remaining buffalo sauce.
