Here's something you may not know about me, I am not much of a salad eater. I don't usually order a salad unless it comes with my meal or my mother has made it with dinner and I'm obligated to. In a recent attempt to eat healthier than I have been, I stumbled across MASON JAR SALADS. I know this isn't a "new" concept, but it is new to me. I decided to give it a whirl when I started meal prepping for the week.
Here are all the things I used to make this wonderful work of DIY art:
1 Mason Jar (any size is okay, personal preference really)
1 bag salad mix (I used hearts of romaine)
1 bag of parmesan cheese
1 jar of caesar dressing
Misc preferred toppings ( I used cherry tomatoes and also wanted croutons but I forgot to buy them!)
- First, clean your mason jar. That's pretty self explanatory but needs to be said.
- Second, clean your lettuce and vegetable toppings (if any.)
- Now, the trick to the mason jar salad is LAYERING. Always start with your dressing at the bottom and work your way up.
- Add your dressing, not too much, I learned the hard way that there is such a thing as too much Caesar dressing.
- Now add your lettuce, add to your hearts desire, but not too much, we still need room for our toppings!
- Next, add your toppings!
- Lastly, pop that lid on and stick that sucker in the fridge!
- YOU DID IT!!
I actually really enjoyed this super easy trick. It saves dishes and it super yummy but also healthier than most snacks!
