Mason Jar Southwest Chicken Salad
Ingredients
- 2 ounces shredded or diced chicken at the bottom (roasted, grilled or leftovers)
- 2 slices of red onion 1/4th inch thick
- 1 cup Romaine lettuce
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- 2 thick slices of bell peppers
- 2 Tablespoons to 3 Tablespoons diced avocado
- fresh torn cilantro
- 2 Tablespoons Mariani's Smoky Southwest Salad Toppers
- dairy-free spicy ranch, or dressing of choice
Instructions
- 1. Assemble the salad in large mason jars (24-28 ounces) in order of layers listed from bottom of jar to top.
- 2. Save the dressing to the side until right before eating. When ready to eat, drizzle dressing on top, close the lid and shake. Eat from the jar or pour into a bowl and enjoy.
- 3. Make Ahead Tip – The salad can be made 2 days ahead (without dressing) and stored in the fridge.
- 4. Storage – To keep sliced produce fresh, add a splash of lemon juice or add sliced lemon to the salad jars! Place them either in-between ingredients or on top. Slice the avocado and add to chopped salad the same day or day before you’re eating the salad. This is to avoid browning.
