Description

A portable twist on the classic Caesar salad, featuring grilled chicken, pasta, and fresh ingredients layered beautifully in jars.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons Caesar dressing
  • 1/2 cup cooked pasta
  • Sliced grilled chicken
  • 1 tablespoon shredded Parmesan
  • 1/4 cup crispy chickpeas
  • 1 cup chopped romaine lettuce

Instructions

  1. Grill the chicken until cooked to perfection, achieving lovely grill marks.
  2. Cook the pasta according to package instructions, ensuring al dente texture for an appealing bite.
  3. Layer the jars: start with romaine lettuce, followed by pasta, seasoned chicken, crispy chickpeas, and finish with a drizzle of Caesar dressing and a sprinkle of Parmesan.
  4. Seal and chill the jars in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.

Notes

To keep the crispy chickpeas from becoming soggy, store them separately until ready to eat. Use wide-mouth jars for easier access to every layer.
