Middle Eastern Millet Salad In A Jar Recipes

Steps:

• For the dressing: Put the oil, vinegar, mayonnaise, mustard, garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper in a jar or blender. Add the water and shake or blend until smooth.
• For the salad: In a 1-quart wide-mouth mason jar, layer: 1/4 cup of the dressing, the artichoke hearts, cucumber, olives, tomatoes, feta and chickpeas. Top with the chopped lettuce. Put the lid on the jar and store in the fridge for up to 2 days. Shake and eat straight from the jar.

Steps:

• Place the scallions, tomatoes, cucumber, chickpeas, parsley, mint, and basil in a large salad bowl and toss to combine.
• In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the lemon juice, garlic, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil to make an emulsion. Pour the dressing over the salad, tossing gently to coat all the vegetables. Add the feta, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss gently. Serve the salad with the toasted pita bread.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Arrange the bacon slices on a rimmed sheet tray in a single layer and bake until the bacon is crispy, about 20 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature, then crumble. Reserve until ready to build the jars.
• Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Put on an oiled quarter-sheet tray and roast until cooked through and browned, about 30 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature, then chop into bite-sized pieces. Reserve until ready to build the jars.
• Put the eggs in a small saucepan and just cover with water. Put on the stovetop over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Once at a boil, turn off the heat and let sit for 11 minutes. Remove the eggs from the water and let cool to the touch. Remove from the shells and cut in half lengthwise. Reserve until ready to build the jars.
• Mix the ranch dressing, sherry vinegar and chives in a small bowl. Reserve, chilled, until ready to build the jars.
• Carefully build layers in each of four 32-ounce mason jars, starting with the iceberg in the bottom of each jar. Evenly divide the eggs, yolk sides facing out, among each jar. Divide the bacon crumbles, cucumber, tomatoes, avocado slices, chicken, blue cheese and ranch dressing among the jars.
• Cover with lids and keep cold until ready to eat. Simply shake the jars to "toss" the salads and either serve on chilled plates or eat directly out of the jars.
