Instructions
- For the dressing, place avocado and yogurt in a blender and blend until smooth. Add the chicken stock, garlic, parsley, cilantro, and lime juice and pulse until smooth. Add salt to taste.
- Divide the ingredients among the mason jars, starting with 2 tablespoons of the dressing. Then layer the vegetables, egg, cheese, turkey, and ham, ending with the lettuce on top – as much as you can squeeze into the jar.
- When ready to serve, shake the jar, unscrew the cap and pour the contents into a bowl. Lightly toss so the dressing is well distributed.
Tips:
- Salads can refrigerated for up to 4 days.
- Any glass jar will work if it has a wide opening.
