    This Southwestern Chicken Fajita Mason Jar Salad is a super easy to make, nutritious, and delicious lunch that you can make ahead of time and keep in the fridge for 3-5 days!

    Southwestern Chicken Fajita Mason Jar Salad-4

    I'm a huge fan of food prep, although it was tough getting started at first. And now that I'm a new mom, I'd rather spend any extra time I have cuddling with my baby or taking a nap. However, I know that the couple of hours I put into meal prep will make the rest of the week that much easier! 

    If you'd like to see my meal prep routine, check out this series, Meal Prep Friday.

    I absolutely adore mason jar salads because I can make several ahead of time, store in the fridge, and either throw them into my husband's lunchboxes or pour onto a bowl and eat while I have my baby attached to my hip. 

    If you'd like to learn how to build the perfect mason jar salad so that they all the food components stay fresh and delicious for several days, click here. 

    I am a woman of my word. I promised you a recipe for this Southwestern Chicken Fajita Mason Jar Salad a couple of weeks ago in my Meal Prep Friday post, and I'm here to deliver ;).

     

    A super exciting news that I also want to share with you is that I'm now one of the contributors to the Food Network's Healthy Eats blog!!!!! (Somebody pinch me). Click here to find the full recipe for this nutritious grab-n-go lunch. It's a one-pan wonder!

      I made this recipe and drizzled it with a homemade horseradish honey mustard. It was amazing!!! Thank you so much for the recipe. It is now a staple dish in my home. Keep up the great recipes!

      I have also tried variations with cubed pork chops as well. It was equally great!
