Ingredients
- Mixed greens (baby spinach, arugula, or your favorite leafy greens)
- Cherry tomatoes, halved
- Cucumbers, diced
- Bell peppers, chopped (any color you prefer)
- Carrots, grated or julienned
- Protein of choice (grilled chicken, canned chickpeas, or tofu)
- Salad dressing (your favorite variety, balsamic vinaigrette works wonders!)
Instructions
- Start by layering the salad ingredients in a mason jar. Begin with the dressing at the bottom, followed by sturdier vegetables like grated carrots and bell peppers.
- Next, sprinkle in your protein of choice. I often go with grilled chicken for a boost of flavor, but chickpeas do the trick just as well. Finally, pack your mixed greens right on top.
- Once your jar is filled to the brim, seal it tightly and refrigerate.
- When you’re ready to indulge, grab the jar, give it a good shake to mix everything together, and enjoy!
Notes
Mason Jar Salads can last up to 5 days in the refrigerator if stored properly. Keep the dressing at the bottom to maintain freshness.
