Mason Jar Salads

This is the follow up to my prep for a week post. I wasn’t able to complete the mason jar salads on my prep day, so I did it one night after work.

The process:

• I washed & cut up all the veggies for the salad and placed in bowls.
• I drained and rinsed the few canned items I used.
• I arranged all items for my salad in an assembly line.

Pretty simple, right?

Combo #1  (layered from bottom to top):

• Lite French Dressing or Lite Balsamic Dressing
• Kidney Beans
• Red Pepper
• Yellow Squash
• Cranberries
• Chicken Breast
• Sunflower Seeds
• Parmesan Cheese
• Lettuce
• Mandarin Oranges

Combo #2  (layered from bottom to top):

• Lite Ranch Dressing
• Shredded Carrots
• Red Pepper
• Yellow Squash
• Chicken Breast
• Lite Mexican Cheese
• Lettuce
• Pecans

Thoughts:

• I only had to make one mess this week for seven salads
• There was less waste with the vegetables because I was able to use up all the vegetables
• More variety in the salads
• Salads so far are staying crisp
• Took a little over 30 minutes to prep all 7 salads

Bottom Line: I’ll do it again!
