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
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, toss the cooked chicken breast with the Buffalo sauce until evenly coated. Set aside.
Step 2
Prepare four large mason jars (16 oz or larger) for assembling the salads.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
If using blue cheese crumbles, sprinkle them on top of the romaine lettuce in each jar.
Step 5
Seal the mason jars tightly with lids and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Step 6
When ready to eat, shake the jar to mix the ingredients and enjoy directly from the jar or pour into a bowl for serving.
