Salad in a Jar with Lemon Vinaigrette Dressing

August 21, 2013 By Karen Sorenson

Between working full time and putting up recipes on the blog/Facebook life is definitely busy.  I’m always looking for ways to prepare meals ahead of time so I don’t have to worry about my meals during the week.  One of my go-to lunches is Salad in a Jar.  It’s so easy to throw together!  I make up a few jars on Sunday night to have for lunch during the week.  The great thing about a Salad in a Jar is that there are some many different combinations so use your favorite veggies and salad additions.

Steps for Salad in a Jar:

  1. Pour dressing in the bottom of the jar–I like Lemon Vinaigrette Dressing (recipe below).
  2. Top with hearty vegetables like cucumbers, carrots, radishes, beets, etc.
  3. Add a layer of lighter vegetables (or fruits) like tomatoes (I remove the seeds), red onions, mushrooms, broccoli, strawberries, etc.
  4. Add a layer of cooked chicken, wild tuna, or wild salmon.
  5. Fill the rest of the jar with plenty of salad greens like spring mix, arugula, spinach, romaine, etc.
  6. Store in the refrigerator and shake the jar just before serving to mix the salad and to coat with dressing.  Serve in a bowl for easier mixing and top with an extras like shredded grassfed cheddar cheese.
