Why You'll Want This Again

This salad is perfect for busy days because it’s easy to prepare ahead and stays fresh in the fridge. The oven-roasted chicken adds a hearty, flavorful touch that makes the meal satisfying and nutritious. Plus, the mason jar presentation is fun and convenient for on-the-go lunches.

Chef Tips

- Roast the chicken with simple seasonings like salt, pepper, and garlic for the best flavor.
- Layer the ingredients starting with dressing at the bottom to keep greens crisp.
- Use airtight mason jars to keep the salad fresh longer.

Directions

Blend the oven-roasted chicken breast with some Greek yogurt, chopped red onion, celery, and a squeeze of lemon juice in a small bowl. Then, divide this chicken mixture evenly between two jars. Next, layer some spring mix on top of the chicken in each jar. After that, add a handful of cranberries, chopped apples, and pecans to finish it off. Screw the lids on tight, and when you're ready to eat, just dump everything into a bowl, give it a good toss, and enjoy!

Serving Advice

Enjoy this salad straight from the jar for a quick lunch or pour it into a bowl and toss before eating to mix all the flavors. It pairs well with crusty bread or a light soup on the side.

How To Store For Later

Store the salad jars in the refrigerator for up to four days. Keep the lids tightly sealed to maintain freshness and prevent the greens from wilting. If you want to prepare chicken ahead, store it separately and add just before serving.
