Fresh Green Salad in a Jar!

March 29, 2013 by Tiffany 2 Comments

Fresh Green Salad in a Jar | Feel Great in 8

One thing that always makes eating healthy difficult for me is time. On those days when I am crazy busy, I end up skipping meals or grabbing whatever unhealthy food is close and easy. When I saw the idea for a salad in a jar on pinterest, I knew they could help. I made my first batch last weekend and was super excited to find that the last one was still fresh and delicious 5 days later! It doesn’t get much quicker and easier than shaking and grabbing a fork.

Fresh Green Salad in a Jar
{makes one salad in a quart size mason jar}
Ingredients
2 tablespoons homemade ranch dressing
4-6 cherry tomatoes
1/4 cup frozen peas
4-6 baby cut carrots
1/8 cup sharp cheddar cheese
2 cups dark leafy greens or spinach
Directions
I listed the exact veggies that I used, but you are welcome to use any of your favorites. The only thing that really matters is the order in which you add them. Add the dressing to the jar first. Follow with heartier veggies like tomatoes, carrots and peas. Throw in any meat/cheese and then add the lettuce on the top. To eat, either dump the whole salad in a bowl, or just shake it up and eat it with a fork out of the jar. Mine were all eaten within 5 days, but I’ve read they will last up to a week. I’ll see if I can refrain from eating one that long and let you know. 🙂

    Hi Tiffany, Thanks for sharing with us at the Val Verde 2nd Ward Relief Society on March 3rd. My name is Mary, and I’m a dietitian. I love what you are doing! I was so excited to win the free e-book- 8 weeks to a healthy lifestyle, in the raffle drawing. Thanks! My insurance coverage was just cancelled. When I am able to complete my annual physical, I will be able to start the 8-week challenge. Thanks for your well-thought-out program. I can understand why it is growing! Sincerely, Mary
