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!
I made the Southwest and the Thai and they are both yummy! Great for a quick lunch or dinner. I am going to try the other two next!
So good! Glad you’re enjoying these!
These look terrific! Wondering do you shake up salad and pour onto a plate or just eat out of jar?
I usually pour it onto a plate, but you can do either!
Awesome!
