Instructions
Begin by preparing all your ingredients: cook and dice the chicken breast, cook and crumble the bacon, cube the avocado, chop the boiled eggs, halve the cherry tomatoes, and thinly slice the red onion.
Take two mason jars (1-quart size) and pour 2 tablespoons of keto-friendly ranch dressing into the bottom of each jar.
Layer the ingredients evenly between the two jars in the following order: halved cherry tomatoes, diced chicken breast, crumbled bacon, cubed avocado, chopped boiled eggs, crumbled blue cheese, and thinly sliced red onion.
Finish by packing the baby spinach on top, leaving a little space to allow for shaking the salad before eating.
Seal the jars tightly with their lids and refrigerate until ready to serve.
When ready to enjoy, shake the jar to distribute the dressing throughout the salad and pour it into a bowl or eat it straight from the jar.
Notes
For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and bacon and add more vegetables or a keto-friendly protein source like tofu.The mason jar salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making it a perfect make-ahead meal.If you're not a fan of blue cheese, feel free to substitute it with another keto-friendly cheese such as cheddar or feta.Always remember to keep the dressing at the bottom and the leafy greens at the top to keep the salad fresh.
