Pinterest had this idea for Mason Jar salads. We tweaked it a little, and I just ate my first one, and I am ready to declare that that game has been changed. This can all be made ahead on Sunday and is ready to go for the week.
Put lettuce and/or spinach in a baggie. One sandwich bag holds enough for a plate-sized salad. Then, in a mason jar (ours are 12 oz), layer the following:
Caesar:
Creamy or vinaigrette Caesar dressing
Carrots (grated or thinly sliced)
Chopped celery
Cucumbers
Baby dill pickles
LeSur Peas straight from the can
Baby corn on the cobs
Grape tomatoes
Baked chicken
*I added sesame sticks I had in my desk after this was on the plate.
Goat cheese:
Raspberry vinaigrette
Carrotts
Strawberries
Blueberries
Celery
Cucumbers
Baked Chicken
Crumbled goat cheese
*add candied walnuts later if you like those!
Taco:
Catalina dressing and/or salsa
Carrots
Black beans
Taco meat (seasoned beef, turkey, or chicken)
Grape tomatoes
Black olives
Sour cream
Maybe grated cheddar cheese?
*eat with a bag of chips
Really, the possibilities are endless. But I can guarantee that this way cheaper than your office salad bar. The prep time took about 30 minutes, and then this morning, I just grabbed a jar and left. Divine!
