So lately it seems that everyone is on the 'Mason Jar' salad trend, I blame it on Pinterest :) It is a great way to build nutrition in a jar! Mason Jar's are great because they seal shut very well, so you don't get the spills that can happen with other tupperware or ziploc containers. Here's one of my favourite Salads in a Jar recipes - Deconstructed Clubhouse - with the dressing that I got from our own Iron Anne! Don't forget that you can do many other salads 'to go' such as Greek, Tomato Bocconcini, and more!
Ingredients
Baby Gem Lettuce (this is a great type of lettuce to use because it maintains the crispiness that you want in a salad leaf, but you can substitute for another lettuce green if unavailable)
2 Strips of Cooked Bacon, chopped (the good stuff!)
1/2 Chicken Breast, sliced (poached or grilled)
5 Cherry Tomatoes
1 Avocado (optional - but this is kept separate until eating time!)
Apple Cider Vinegar
Olive Oil
Maple Syrup
Sea Salt & Pepper to taste
2 Strips of Cooked Bacon, chopped (the good stuff!)
1/2 Chicken Breast, sliced (poached or grilled)
5 Cherry Tomatoes
1 Avocado (optional - but this is kept separate until eating time!)
Apple Cider Vinegar
Olive Oil
Maple Syrup
Sea Salt & Pepper to taste
- Wash your baby gem lettuce thoroughly and pat dry.
- Slice your chicken breast into bite size pieces, same goes for the bacon.
- For the dressing, combine equal parts Apple Cider Vinegar, Olive Oil, and Maple Syrup, season with salt and pepper.
- To build your salad, start with the dressing in the bottom, then lettuce and tomato, and finally top off with your bacon and chicken.
- Close the jar and off you go!
- When ready to eat, give the jar a good shake to coat your salad, cut your avocado and pop it in to enjoy a compact, but filling meal!
