I was seriously tempted to skip breakfast this morning and eat salad instead! This is saying a lot because I LOVE breakfast food and could eat it 3 meals a day and be perfectly happy.
These jar salads I made this week are so yummy and an easy way to make sure I get all my veggies in. This is definitely getting added to my weekly meal prep routine!
Chicken Black Bean Salad with Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette

For each salad
- 1/2 cup shredded chicken breast
- 1/3 cup black beans
- 1 cup veggies of your choice (I used red onion, radishes, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, mini peppers)
- 1 cup lettuce
- 1/4 cup cheese
DRESSING
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Small bunch of cilantro leaves
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 jalapeno pepper
Instructions
- Blend dressing ingredients in blender.
- Pour dressing in the bottom of jar.
- Layer black beans, chicken, veggies, lettuce, and then cheese.
Notes
- I dump mine out in a bowl to eat, but you can also shake the jar to distribute the dressing and eat it right from there.
- Making sure your lettuce is as dry as possible will help your salads stay fresh longer. Use a salad spinner or store your lettuce with a paper towel to absorb the extra moisture.

Have you made Mason Jar salads before? What’s your favorite ingredient to add?
HI! My daughter just sent me this recipe. I am wondering how much salad dressing I actually use for each recipe for the 21 day fix?
Fill one orange container per jar.
I don’t follow the 21 day diet so could you tell me roughly how much dressing to add to the jars? Thanks!
Approximately 2 Tablespoons of dressing per jar.
This Looks delicious!! I am Just curious on how you season the chicken before shredding?? Thanks
I honestly don’t season it at all. I just cook plain old chicken breasts in the crockpot. With the dressing, it doesn’t really need seasoning. But, if you wanted to season it, any time of Mexican seasoning (like chili powder and cumin) or Mrs. Dash Fiesta Lime Seasoning would be delicious.
How many servings total?
The recipe is or one serving of salad, other than the dressing, which makes about 4 servings.
