Ingredients

Scale

Apple Cider Vinaigrette Dressing:

  • 3 TB extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil
  • 3 TB apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 4 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 4 tsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

For the Salad:

  • 4 cups chopped leafy green or romaine lettuce (or other greens of choice)
  • 8 oz cooked and diced chicken breast (I used rotisserie chicken )
  • 2 apples, cubed
  • Juice from 1/2 lemon
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 4 oz crumbled feta or blue cheese
  • 1 cup pecans, coarsely chopped and toasted
  • 4 Quart sized mason jars and lids

Instructions

  1. Whisk together dressing ingredients in a small bowl or measuring cup until completely combined.
  2. Place a few tablespoons of dressing at the bottom of each jar.
  3. Place diced apple in a small bowl and squeeze lemon over the bowl. Toss apple in lemon juice to coat (this will prevent browning). Totally optional.
  4. Divide salad ingredients among the jars, layering in the following: apple, chicken, cheese, cranberries, pecans then greens of choice!
  5. Twist on the top to seal your salads and refrigerate up 5 days.
  6. When ready to serve, empty containers of the jar onto a large plate or bowl – the dressing will be on top! Toss to coat, if desired!
