Savory Buffalo Chicken Mason Jar Salad Recipe

Ingredients

• A generous 10-ounce portion of creamy cucumber ranch salad dressing
• 2 tablespoons of zesty Buffalo-style hot pepper sauce, like the iconic Frank's® RedHot
• 4 stalks of fresh celery, sliced into delicate 1/8-inch pieces
• 4 medium carrots, also sliced thinly into 1/8-inch pieces
• Tender, bite-sized pieces of cooked chicken, totaling 15 ounces
• A bountiful mix of 10 cups of assorted vibrant salad greens
• 1 ¼ cups of tangy crumbled blue cheese for a flavorful kick
• An optional addition of ¾ cup of satisfyingly crunchy croutons

Step 1

Mix together the zesty ranch dressing and fiery hot sauce in a charming little bowl. Next, let's get creative! Take this delectable concoction and layer it carefully in 5 beautiful wide-mouthed glass jars, allowing the dressing to be the star of the first layer. Then, add in generous portions of crunchy celery and vibrant carrots for the following two layers, creating a colorful and nutritious display.

Step 2

Now, for the exciting part! Nestle 3 ounces of succulent chicken into each jar, followed by a generous heap of 2 cups of crisp salad greens. Sprinkle a delightful touch of 1/4 cup of tangy blue cheese on top of the greens to elevate the flavors further. Seal these jars with love and pop them in the fridge to chill until you're ready to enjoy.

Step 3

To complete this culinary masterpiece, portion out the crunchy croutons into 5 small, handy containers. When the time comes to indulge in this flavorful creation, simply empty the contents of the jar and the croutons into a bowl, giving it all a good toss to mix and mingle the delightful flavors. Voilà! A feast for the senses awaits.
