  3. Next, layer in the thinly sliced red onion, followed by the diced cucumber.
  4. Now, sprinkle in the shredded carrots, followed by the halved cherry tomatoes on top.
  5. Add your cooked chicken next, placing it directly on top of the tomato layer.
  6. Top off your salad by packing in a generous handful of mixed greens.
  7. If you choose to include feta cheese, sprinkle it over the top of the mixed greens now.
  8. Finally, seal the mason jar tightly with its lid and store it in the refrigerator.
