Ingredients

> 1/2 (2.1 oz) pkg fully cooked sliced bacon
> 8 tbsp white balsamic dressing, divided
> 4 (32 oz) wide-mouth mason jars with lids
> 1 English cucumber, diced
> 4 large hard-boiled eggs, quartered
> 1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
> 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
> 2 large avocados, peeled, pitted, and diced
> 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles
> 6 cups shredded romaine lettuce

Steps

1
Microwave the bacon according to package directions. Let cool briefly, then chop finely or crumble with your hands.
2
Add 2 tbsp dressing to the bottom of each jar. To each jar, add the cucumber, hard-boiled eggs, tomatoes, chicken, bacon, avocados, and blue cheese. Top with the lettuce. Season with salt and pepper. Seal each jar and refrigerate until ready to eat. Before eating, simply shake the jar to toss the salad.

Tips

To hard cook eggs, place the eggs in a large pot and add enough cold water to cover by 2 inches. Heat to a boil on high. Cover and remove from heat. Let stand 12 min. Drain and rinse with cold water until cool to the touch.
