Recipe ideas: salad in a jar



From a Facebook friend ... salad in a Jar ...

ARRANGE in a Mason jar from the BOTTOM to the top:

Dressing
Shredded carrots
Cherry tomatoes
Sunflower seeds
Hard boiled eggs
Baby spinach


DIRECTIONS
1) Arrange ingredients in a large mason jar
2) Store in fridge for up to a week
3) When ready to eat: shake jar, place on a plate, and eat!

You can make any arrangement you want… add red onion, cucumbers, radishes, or peppers. Always remember to put the dressing at the bottom and the lettuce at the top—a MUST.

NOTE:  If you are making a few salads at a time for the week, you MUST remember to vacuum seal the Mason Jars. (Mason jars can be bought at Wal-mart, and various grocery stores.) They must be vacuum sealed to remain fresh and crisp. Here are two different ways to vacuum seal a mason jar:
