- Season the chicken breasts with a dash of salt and black pepper before cooking to enhance their flavor.
- Grill or pan-fry the chicken with a tablespoon of olive oil until fully cooked, then dice into bite-sized pieces.
- Mix Greek yogurt, chopped onion, celery, mayonnaise, and almonds with a tablespoon of lemon juice in a bowl to create a creamy dressing.
- Make sure to massage the kale with a little bit of olive oil, salt, and lemon juice to soften it and bring out its flavor.
- Layer the salad in the jar starting with the dressing at the bottom, followed by harder ingredients like chicken and apples, then softer ones like grapes and cranberries. This prevents the salad from getting soggy.
- Leave some space at the top of the jar to allow for shaking before eating; this helps distribute the dressing evenly.
