Instructions

For the dressing:

  1. 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.  

For the salad:

  1. 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.
  2. 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 + Tricks: 

  • Salads can be refrigerated for up to 4 days. 
  • Any glass jar will work if it has a wide opening. 

 

Simple Swaps:  

Get creative with different salad combinations, ranch-type dressing, tomatoes, leftover rotisserie chicken, chickpeas, cucumbers and romaine lettuce!
