These jar salads offered the perfect solution! I packed a set last weekend and by Friday the lettuce was still fresh! I just dumped the salad out into a plastic bowl and enjoyed!
For the salad in the picture, I layered:
-Mexican dressing
-grape tomatoes
-red pepper
-black beans
-corn
-hard boiled egg
-shredded carrots
-lettuce
The Mexican dressing was the juice of a lime, some salsa, guacamole, and olive oil liquified in the blender! (Found this idea here)
This week I have layered:
-Raspberry vinagrette
-grape tomatoes
-cucumbers
-chick peas
- hard boiled egg
-a sprinkle of parmesan cheese
-lettuce
There are also a bunch of jar salad ideas on this blog!
I have never seen these! What an interesting idea! I am definitely going to have to try these out soon.
ReplyDeleteMaybe a weird question...where did you get the jars?
