Is buffalo chicken salad a credible dinner?

Tonight, out of my love of anything that combines the flavor of hot wings with the flavor of blue cheese dressing, I made a buffalo chicken salad. The ingredients were er lettuce, ice burg lettuce, spinach, buffalo chicken strips (I made these by baking breaded chicken that were also coated in hot wing sauce, then cutting them up), and cheddar cheese. I used blue cheese dressing, my hubby and kids prefer ranch. We also had french bread on the side. My husband (who will often choose to make just pancakes or declare "snack night" on his rare nights that he cooks), tells me that a salad (no matter if it contains all four food groups) is NOT a dinner, it's an appatizer. What do you think? I got full before I finished mine. He insisted he needed a bowl of cerial after his.
