Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp light mayonnaise
  • 2 strips center-cut bacon
  • 1/4 cup 1% buttermilk
  • 10 grape tomatoes (quartered)
  • 1/4 cup fresh chopped scallion
  • 2 ounces 1/2 small avocado, diced
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 large hard-boiled eggs (diced)
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 ounces grilled chicken breast (diced, or leftover rotisserie chicken)
  • 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 ounce crumbled gorgonzola or blue cheese (1 generous tablespoon )
  • 1/8 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • 1/8 teaspoon dried basil
  • fresh black pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Whisk all dressing ingredients in a small bowl until combined. Set aside
  2. Cook the bacon according to package directions. Once cooked, place strips on a paper towel lined plate and allow to cool. Meanwhile, chop the tomatoes, avocado, eggs, and chicken. Once cool, chop the bacon.
  3. In each quart size mason jar, divide all ingredients evenly. Layer the dressing, chicken, tomato, eggs, cheese, bacon and top with chopped romaine and avocado (I suggest adding avocado the day you plan to eat it).

Notes

  • These are the wide mouth mason jars I use which you can buy on amazon (affiliate link).
