Thank you to everyone for making the first ever #AKSaladChallenge a success! I had so much fun creating these delicious meal prep salads for you guys, and absolutely LOVED seeing your creations come to life on Instagram and in the AK Community Facebook Group.
We’re wrapping up the challenge with a little round up of the famous salad jars, plus a fun mashup video that shows each one. Check them out and leave a comment to let me know which one was your favorite!

With salads in a mason jar, do you shake the jar to mix the salad? Isn’t it hard to eat out of the jar? Do you need an extra long fork?
I find it’s much easier to dump everything on a paper plate/extra container. Especially since my jars are usually packed and this ensures even distribution of everything!
I love how you labeled all of the ingredients in the pictures! Always glad to try new mason jar salads for meal prep 🙂
Yes! It helps to have a little visual when you’re layering them up 🙂
Very nice idea and it will certainly help carrying and keeping salads fresh. I am pinning up the post and trying them all for my lunch . Thanks for the share. Loved it.
Absolutely! Perfect for an on-the-go lunch 🙂
I ate the Southwest one all week long and loved it! There’s an Aldi close by to me so I got everything from there — I think I only spent around $15 total for the salad ingredients. I plan to try the Thai Chicken one next week. Thank you for sharing!
Also, something funny that happened was I misread the ingredients list and thought they were for one salad. So I bought too much and ended up with way too many ingredients, but it was okay because I had a very large salad for dinner. 🙂
Perfect – love the Southwest one! Big dinner salads are my favorite 🙂 these also make great leftovers!
how last it could be good in the fridge?
They should be good for about 3-4 days!
