Whisk the olive oil, vinegar, oregano, a pinch of salt and black pepper, and divide between four large jars.

- 3
Add the cucumber, pepper, sweetcorn and tomatoes in layers.
- 4
Add the chicken, then top with the shredded lettuce.
- 5
Pack the avocado separately and add it just before eating so it stays green.
