Pinterest Made Me Do It #1: Mason Jar Salad

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!)

 

1. First, clean your mason jar. That's pretty self explanatory but needs to be said.
2. Second, clean your lettuce and vegetable toppings (if any.)
3. Now, the trick to the mason jar salad is LAYERING. Always start with your dressing at the bottom and work your way up.
4. Add your dressing, not too much, I learned the hard way that there is such a thing as too much Caesar dressing.
5. Now add your lettuce, add to your hearts desire, but not too much, we still need room for our toppings!
6. Next, add your toppings!
7. Lastly, pop that lid on and stick that sucker in the fridge!
8. YOU DID IT!!

I actually really enjoyed this super easy trick. It saves dishes and it super yummy but also healthier than most snacks!
