Salad in a Jar

Planning meals is a great way to make sure your vegetables don’t go to waste and to help you eat the way you want to.  These mason jar salads are a great way to not only plan your meals, but also prepare them ahead of time.  You simply layer the ingredients–dressing on the bottom, water resistant ingredients in the middle and dry ingredients on the top. This will keep your salad fresh, so you can make a week’s worth at one time.  You can easily grab one from your fridge in the morning and take it to work.  Another reason I like using mason jars is because there’s something about being able to see my food that helps me remember to eat it.  I like to open my fridge and know what is in a container so I don’t forget about something until it is unrecognizable:)  Here’s a little tutorial on making the mason jar salads along with several different recipes.  Don’t forget to check out our recipe page for some delicious homemade dressings.
