Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded or cubed
- 0.333 cup Buffalo sauce
- 3 cups Romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup Carrots, shredded
- 1 cup Celery, diced
- 0.25 cup Blue cheese crumbles (optional)
- 0.333 cup Ranch or blue cheese dressing
Instructions
In a medium bowl, toss the cooked chicken breast with the Buffalo sauce until evenly coated. Set aside.
Prepare four large mason jars (16 oz or larger) for assembling the salads.
In each mason jar, layer the ingredients in the following order to prevent sogginess: ranch or blue cheese dressing (about 4 teaspoons per jar), celery, cherry tomatoes, shredded carrots, Buffalo chicken, and romaine lettuce. Leave enough space at the top of the jar for easy mixing later.
If using blue cheese crumbles, sprinkle them on top of the romaine lettuce in each jar.
Seal the mason jars tightly with lids and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
When ready to eat, shake the jar to mix the ingredients and enjoy directly from the jar or pour into a bowl for serving.
