Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked shredded chicken (preferably roasted or grilled)

1/2 cup buffalo sauce (or to taste)

4 cups mixed greens (lettuce, spinach, arugula)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup diced cucumbers

1/2 cup shredded carrots

1/2 cup celery, diced

1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (or feta cheese)

1/4 cup ranch dressing (or blue cheese dressing)

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: fresh parsley or green onions for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with buffalo sauce, ensuring each piece is well coated. Adjust the amount of sauce according to your spice preference.

    Layer the Jar: Start by adding the ranch dressing to the bottom of your mason jar. This will prevent the greens from getting soggy.

      Add Vegetables: Layer the diced cucumbers next. Follow with the halved cherry tomatoes, shredded carrots, and diced celery. This keeps the crunch and builds a beautiful gradient of colors.

        Mixed Greens: Pile the mixed greens on top of the vegetables, pressing down slightly to pack them in.

          Buffalo Chicken: Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture over the greens, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.

            Cheese Topping: Finish with the crumbled blue cheese, sprinkling it generously on top.

              Season: Taste and sprinkle with salt and pepper if desired. Seal the mason jar tightly with a lid.

                Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the salads until you’re ready to eat. When ready to enjoy, shake the jar to mix the ingredients or pour into a bowl for a more traditional salad presentation. Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions for a pop of color.
