Jar salads should be well-packed so ingredients don’t shift and cause leafy greens to wilt by coming into contact with dressing.
Keep these tips in mind when making jar salads.
For a side salad, include more leafy greens. For meal salads, increase the grains and proteins.
This is your chance to sneak extra nutrients and fiber into your meals with add-ins such as beets, onions, radishes, shredded cabbage and spinach.
Save money and reduce waste by using leftover produce. One example: corn on the cob. Just slice the kernels off the cob and add them to your salad for great texture and added sweetness.
The real attraction of a jar salad is that the dressing ends up on top of the salad once you shake the contents onto a plate or into a bowl. Then simply toss the ingredients with a fork and enjoy!
