4cupschopped Romaine lettuce or other mixed greensplus additional as needed
4quart-size wide-mouth mason jars
Instructions
Place a few tablespoons of dressing at the bottom of each jar.
Divide remaining ingredients among the jars, layering in the following order: chicken, bacon, avocado, cheese, lettuce. Twist on the top to seal your salads and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
** The trick to keeping everything fresh (without browning on the avocado) is to pack the jar as tightly as possible. Keep adding lettuce to the top and really pack it down until you absolutely cannot squeeze any more inside! Then seal the lid!
Variations and Tips For Making These Chicken and Bacon Mason Jars
Although I love this combo you can also switch it up with what ever you have in your fridge
Try grape/cherry tomatoes....especially good when in season
A crispy croutons in there (add them last)
Add a little arugula for a peppery kick
Add mozzarella or other cheeses you have in your fridge
Bell peppers
carrots would work well and give a nice crunch
Always remember to add the dressing first followed by ingredients that won't wilt or go soggy such as cheese, chicken and bacon
