Create colorful, fresh mason jar salads perfect for healthy make-ahead lunches that stay crisp all week long.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup Salad Dressing (e.g., vinaigrette)
  • 1/4 cup Hard Vegetables (e.g., carrots, bell peppers, cucumbers)
  • 1/4 cup Grains or Beans (e.g., quinoa, chickpeas)
  • 1/2 cup Protein (e.g., grilled chicken, tofu)
  • 1/2 cup Soft Vegetables (e.g., tomatoes, mushrooms)
  • 1 cup Leafy Greens (e.g., spinach, mixed lettuce)

Instructions

  1. Pour your salad dressing into the bottom of a wide-mouth mason jar (16 oz or larger).
  2. Layer the hard vegetables directly on top of the dressing. This acts as a barrier.
  3. Add grains or beans next.
  4. Place your protein source on top of the grains.
  5. Add softer vegetables next, layering carefully.
  6. Fill the remaining space with leafy greens, packing them in gently.
  7. Seal the jar tightly with the lid.
  8. When ready to eat, shake the jar well or pour the contents into a bowl to distribute the dressing.

Notes

  • Always place the dressing at the very bottom of the jar.
  • Keep hard ingredients between the dressing and softer items to prevent sogginess.
  • Prepare up to five jars on Sunday for lunches throughout the work week.
  • Use a quality jar with a tight-sealing lid for best freshness.
