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.
