MASON JAR COBB SALADS | High Protein Lunch Meal Prep Ideas for Salad Recipes!

This pasta salad in a jar recipe is healthy, gluten free, dairy free, and grain free.  It&#39;s perfect for healthy lunch meal prep.

Chicken Bacon Ranch Pasta Salad In A Jar

C. Dairy Free Ranch Dressing ((or any type of ranch))

oz Gluten Free Fusilli

lb Chicken Breasts

Uncured Turkey Bacon

C. Broccoli Florets, cut to bite-size pieces

Cucumber,

C. Bell Pepper, de-seeded and chopped

C. Red Onion, finely chopped

C. Cherry Tomatoes, halved (optional)

Preheat oven to 375 F.  Prepare the dairy free ranch dressing.  *Tip:  I like to add 2-3 Tbsp of water to thin out the ranch, but this is optional.

Prep the chicken:  Season chicken breasts to your liking.  I rubbed it with paprika, poultry seasoning, garlic powder, sea salt, and pepper.  Bake for 25-35 minutes or until fully done (you can also pressure cook it).  Once done, shred it with a fork.  Set aside to cool.

Prep the Bacon:  Cook turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until fully browned.  Set aside to cool then cut into small pieces.  *Tip:  Add a touch of oil or avocado spray to the bacon if turkey is too lean.

Prep the Pasta:  Cook pasta noodles according to package instructions.  Drain and rinse with cool water.  Let cool completely.

Layer Salads:  Once you&#39;ve prepped all of the individual ingredients, it&#39;s time to layer the salads!  Add ingredients in this order - ranch dressing (1 C. evenly distributed), cucumber, onion, bell pepper, broccoli, chicken, bacon, pasta noodles.  Tightly pack the noodles into the jar.  Place the lid on top and store.

To Serve:  When ready to consume, dump everything into a bowl and toss to combine.  Add a sprinkle of sea salt and pepper (if desired) and enjoy!
