How To Build A Mason Jar Salad
Why are we making salad in a jar? LAYERING! That’s right, it’s not just because they look so pretty (let’s face it though, that does help!), but it’s actually for functionality.
By keeping the sturdier ingredients, like chicken, at the bottom of the jar in the dressing, we are protecting the more delicate ingredients, like the peppers and carrots, which wouldn’t last as long if they were sitting in the dressing getting soggy.
Here is How We Build It:
- 1. Dressing- always goes on the bottom
- 2. Sturdy ingredients- anything that can sit in the dressing for several days without getting mushy is going to be great here
- 3. Delicate ingredients- like leafy greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, peppers, etc. go higher up.
How Do We Eat the Salad?
When you’re ready to serve, dump the salad out of the jar into a large bowl. The dressing pours from the bottom of the jar over all the ingredients and dresses the salad for you!
How long do these jar salads last?
These are good for up to 4 days in the fridge!
