As with all mason jar salads, the clever layers keep everything fresh for up to 5 days!  Dressing goes on the bottom and doesn’t touch the lettuce, so the lettuce stays super crisp!  The layers look so good too – eating healthy is really easy when you have this beautiful colorful deliciousness in your fridge!

Mason jar salads are super portable – just grab a jar and put it in your lunchbox, so convenient!  Grab-and-go meals are such life savers for all of us busy folks!

To eat the mason jar salad, simply invert it onto a plate – the lettuce will come out first and will end up on the bottom of the plate, while all other ingredients and the dressing will end up on top of the salad – just the way it should be!  Or if you’d like to eat the salad on the go, simply shake the mason jar to distribute the dressing and eat straight out of the jar :)
