Cook Time: 10

Total Time: 15

Yield: 2 Servings

Course: Lunch

Cuisine: American

Equipment

2 large mason jars

Ingredients

Dressing

2 tbsp light mayonnaise
1/4 cup 1% buttermilk
1/4 cup scallion (chopped )
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon dried parsley
1/8 teaspoon dried basil
fresh black pepper

Salad

2 strips center-cut bacon
10 grape tomatoes (or cherry tomatoes, quartered)
2 ounces 1/2 small haas avocado (diced)
2 large hard-boiled eggs (diced)
4 ounces grilled chicken breast (diced, or leftover rotisserie chicken)
1/2 ounce crumbled gorgonzola ( or blue cheese (1 generous tablespoon ))
4 cups romaine lettuce (chopped )

Instructions

Whisk all dressing ingredients in a small bowl until combined. Set aside
Cook the bacon according to package directions. Once cooked, place strips on a paper towel lined plate and allow to cool. Meanwhile, chop the tomatoes, avocado, eggs, and chicken. Once cool, chop the bacon.
In each quart size mason jar, divide all ingredients evenly. Starting with the dressing, layer the dressing on the bottom of the jars, then top with the chicken, then the tomatoes, followed by the eggs, then cheese, bacon and top with chopped romaine and avocado (I suggest adding avocado the day you plan to eat it).

Notes

These are the wide mouth mason jars I use.
