Salad Jars


Salads are a roller coaster for me. I love them, especially with lots of veggies cut up and a delicious homemade dressing. But they are so much work! I hate having to get out a bunch of different vegetables and the cutting board and knives just to make one salad. Enter pinterest and the Salad Jar. My life is forever changed! I can spend the time ONCE and have salads for the week. I feel better eating this good food and my time was spent efficiently. Win!

I recommend chopping lettuce and putting it in first, filling most of the jar. Then add whatever you like - bell peppers, red onion, cucumber, celery, grated cheese, raw pumpkin or sunflower seeds, etc. I love it all (except for the celery, ha).

For carrots or zucchini, I always get out my awesome spirooli slicer!

I don't recommend chopping tomato and putting it in the salad jars, because they tend to get too wet for me and I don't like wet salad. If you don't care about your salad being wet, then go for it. A better option, in my opinion, is using grape tomatoes.

When it's time to eat, dump the jar into a big salad bowl, add dressing, and eat. If you need to take it with you to work or school, bring your dressing in a small container so it doesn't make a mess of your salad before you're ready to eat.
