9 Layer Salad Recipes

9 LAYER SALAD

Steps:

• Directions For the dressing, to a small bowl add the lemon juice, yogurt, olive oil, curry powder, salt, minced garlic, and pepper to taste, and whisk until fully combined. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until you are ready to assemble the salad jars. To assemble the salad, divide dressing among 4 large jars. Top with the salad ingredients in the order listed. Seal and refrigerate, or take to go immediately. Keep your jar chilled in the work refrigerator or with a cooler pack in your lunch bag. To serve, remove the lemon, shake up the jar, and then squeeze the lemon over top and enjoy. Or toss the salad in a serving bowl, season with the lemon, and then eat. Tips Lunch Note: Protein keeps you fuller for longer, making it a must-have addition in my jar meals. Chicken, salmon, tuna, hard-boiled eggs, or canned white beans are what I reach for to bulk up this salad.

JEN'S NINE LAYER DIP

Steps:

• Place the chicken, 1 1/2 tablespoons of cilantro, and vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat, and pan-fry the chicken breasts until lightly golden brown, no longer pink in the middle, and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and set aside. When cooled, cut into cubes.
• Place the bacon in the same skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Mix the refried beans into the skillet with the bacon, and cook, stirring frequently, until the beans are hot and bubbling, 5 to 10 minutes. Mix the taco seasoning and sour cream together in a bowl.
• To assemble, spread the hot bean and bacon mixture into the bottom of an 8x8-inch glass dish. Sprinkle the chicken cubes over the bean mixture, then follow with these layers: 3/4 cup of Cheddar cheese, guacamole, sour cream mixture, and sliced tomatoes. Sprinkle the top with 1 1/2 tablespoons of cilantro, black olives, green onions, and 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
