Here are the 3 mason jars that I made, and are super easy when meal planning for the week. All of the ingredients listed below are in the order that I placed them in the jar. I used/ add Expresco Chicken Kabobs pre-cooked in all the recipes, and you can find them at Safeway, Food Lion and Costcos.

Mason Jar Salad

** Grab all your favorite salad ingredients, and let’s layer! **

The key to this jar is to put the salad dressing in first, put your hardy veggies in first (carrots, broccoli, cucumbers, etc.) this will prevent your salad from getting soggy.

Your salad (roman, spinach, kale) should be put in last, along with any salad toppings you would like (crotons, dried fruit, nuts).

My Ingredients:

1. Italian Dressing
2. Broccoli
3. Carrots
4. Cucumbers
5. Bell Peppers
6. Spinach/Roman Lettuce
