Ingredients
For the dressing:
- ½ cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt can substitute with mayonnaise or sour cream
- ½ cup taco sauce can substitute with your favorite salsa, but it will create a thicker and chunkier dressing, so you may need to thin it with a little bit of water or milk
- 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 12 ounces cooked diced Southwestern-seasoned chicken (I find this in the refrigerated section of my grocery store, but you can substitute with any cooked chicken that you season with a little bit of taco seasoning or southwest seasoning)
- 1 cup black beans from a 15-ounce can, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn can use fresh, frozen, or canned & drained
- 1 cup halved grape or cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup 4 ounces Sargento® Fine Cut Shredded 4 Cheese Mexican
- 4 16 ounce/pint-size wide-mouth jars*
Instructions
- Whisk together dressing ingredients in a small bowl until completely combined.
- Place an equal amount of dressing at the bottom of each jar.
- Divide remaining ingredients among the jars, layering in the following order: chicken, black beans, corn, cheese, tomatoes and lettuce. Twist on the top to seal your salads and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- When you’re ready to eat, just dump the jar onto a large plate or bowl and enjoy!
Notes
- *If you want extra room for even more lettuce at the top, I suggest bumping it up to a quart-size jar.
- Why not try adding some pickled jalapenos for a spicy kick
- Bell peppers would be a nice addition
- Try adding a few tortilla chips on top of the salad greens to act as croutons
- Add extra spices to the dressing such as chilli powder and paprika
- Remember to always add the salad dressing into the jar first followed by ingredients that won't go soft and get soggy such as vegetables and cheese.
- Always add the salad greens and any croutons last
