It’s the glass of the mason jar, it’s vertical shape and the special order of the ingredient layers that keep the mason jar salads fresh.  The dressing always goes on the bottom, followed by the cherry tomatoes, carrots, mango and avocado.  In every mason jar salad, lettuce always goes on the top.  You can pack the lettuce tightly, and you’ll be surprised how much lettuce the mason jar will hold!  The mason jars might not look too big, but these salad portions are huge – it’s enough to feed a very hungry person for lunch or dinner!

There is dressing on the bottom of the jar, so it doesn’t touch the lettuce until you are ready to eat it. That’s how the lettuce stays crisp :) When you are ready to eat the salad, just shake the jar upside down to distribute the dressing. Or simply put the salad on the plate and mix!

    I love the addition of mango. I love fruit in salads, but have never used mango. It’s a great summery twist!
