Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

2 cups mixed salad greens (arugula, spinach, or any preferred mix)
1 cup cooked chicken breast, diced or shredded
1 avocado, diced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles
4 slices crispy bacon, crumbled
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
1/4 cup hard-boiled eggs, diced
1/2 cup ranch dressing (or dressing of your choice)
Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Start by preparing your ingredients: cook the chicken breast (if not already cooked), crumble the bacon, dice the avocado, chop the green onions, and hard-boil the eggs.
    In a clean jar (preferably quart-sized), layer the ingredients in this order to keep the salad fresh:
      - Pour the ranch dressing at the bottom to keep the greens from wilting.
        - Add the diced chicken on top of the dressing, followed by the cherry tomatoes.
          - Next, layer the diced avocado, followed by the blue cheese, crumbled bacon, and hard-boiled eggs.
            - Finally, top it off with the mixed salad greens.
              If desired, sprinkle salt and pepper on top of the greens to enhance flavor.
                Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate until ready to serve. When ready, simply shake the jar to mix the ingredients or pour into a bowl to enjoy.
