Ingredients

For the Salads:

  • 4 cups Mixed greens - kale, spinach, and romaine are my favs
  • ½ lb chicken cooked and diced (I grill them or bake for 30 minutes on 350)
  • 1 small head broccoli chopped
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes halved
  • 8 slices Nitrate free turkey bacon cooked and diced
  • 2/3 cup Matchstick carrots
  • 1/3 cup cubed cheddar cheese optional! I make this all the time with no cheese!

For the Ranch Dressing: 

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek Yogurt 2% for the Fix and 0% for WW
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried dill or 1 teaspoon fresh
  • 1 teaspoon fresh chives
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Mix ingredients for dressing, then set aside.  Begin layering salads in the order listed below. You will make two of each type of salad.

BLT (in two jars, layer in this order)

  • ⅛ cup of ranch dressing
  • ½ cup chopped broccoli
  • ½ cup grape tomatoes
  • 4 slices of turkey bacon, crumbled
  • 1 cup spinach or salad greens

Chicken Veggie Ranch (in two jars, layer in this order)

  • ⅛ cup ranch dressing
  • ⅓ cup matchstick carrots
  • ⅓ cup chopped broccoli
  • ⅓ cup chopped cherry tomatoes
  • 3/4 cup diced chicken
  • 3 Tbsp diced cheddar (optional!  I make this all the time with no cheese!)
  • 1 cup spinach or salad greens
  • Store jars in the fridge for up to 4 days. Remove from fridge and keep out for a few minutes before eating, then shake up the jar to distribute the dressing! Enjoy!
