Mason Jar Salads!

Are you try to eat more nutrient-dense, whole foods, but dont have time to pack lunch every day?? I know I start off the week promising myself that I will prepare my lunch in advance, but by the end of the week I am so busy I end up buying food form the cafeteria or just grabbing a granola bar.

Enter Mason Jar Salads!

They're cute, leak-proof and you can keep them in the fridge for up to a week! Are you sold yet? And you can even put the salad dressing in advance without it getting soggy as long as you layer it properly. No more carrying around tiny containers of salad dressing!

Mason jars are great because you can make salad for the whole week on sunday and they wont go bad! No more scrambling to make lunch in the morning!!!

General Mason Jar format:

First (bottom) layer: quinoa or pasta and salad dressing

Second layer: Carrots (carrots are great because even if they touch the calald dressing they wont get soggy!

Third layer: beans or lentils

Fourth layer: heavy veggies (tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, celery, what ever you like)

Fifth layer: cheese, olives (optional)

Top layer: Spinach, Kale, Lettuce, Arugula

You can put in whatever you want, just make sure the heavy stuff goes in first and the salad dressing should be in the bottom layer so it doesn't touch the lettuce.

You can even do like themed salads: greek salad, italian, mexican etc. Mix it up so you dont get bored!

Hope you love mason jar salads as much as I do!!
