A classic grilled chicken club is one of my favorite sandwiches. I've taken some of the key ingredients and transformed them into a salad: marinated grilled chicken, fresh romaine, tomatoes, red onion, crispy bacon, and a creamy homemade honey mustard dressing. Layered inside of a large mason jar, this salad is easy to transport to the office (or the beach!) and stays fresh all week long. Whether you eat it now or later in the week, chicken club mason jar salads make for an easy and delicious lunch.
