Savory Parfaits with Cheddar Bunnies

Savory Chicken Salad Parfait // take a megabite

If I bring my lunch to work, I like it in a jar. Preferably layered real cute-like. Good-lookin stacked salads make for a fun desk lunch. Way more fun than handfuls of granola and granola bars and weird snacks from the basement store that also sells enchiladas with fries on the side. (I ain’t mad at that.)

My favorite chicken salad is creamy with Greek yogurt and whipped goat cheese. No mayo in sight. That stuff creeps me out, ya know? I only like it if it’s called aioli and has artichokes in it. Man… I’m sounding real high-maintenece in this post… but I bet some of you can relate!

So I like to make up a batch of this chicken salad and layer it in a jar with slivered almonds, spinach, tomatoes, and cheddar bunnies. Follow your heart and add some avocado. Maybe cucumber. Go crazy and toss some roasted red peppers or chick peas in there. This salad is your oyster, or your lunch, or your new favorite, maybe?
