# Instructions:

01 - Place all the salad ingredients into a large serving bowl.
02 - Add all dressing ingredients into a blender, and blend until mostly smooth with small bits of the herbs remaining.
03 - Serve the salad and dressing together.
04 - To make salad jars, divide the dressing between 6 – 32 ounce mason jars, or as much dressing as desired. Top the dressing with the cherry tomatoes, chives, chicken, bacon bits, red onion, and finally fill each jar with the romaine.
05 - Store in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, and add fresh avocado the day you are eating the salad.

# Notes:

01 - For best flavor, choose ripe avocados for both the salad and dressing
02 - The salad keeps well in mason jars with the dressing at the bottom
