I love the convenience of using mason jars to pack salads for lunch on the go. To do this, the dressing goes on the bottom of the jar, then you start with ingredients that won’t get soggy. You always put the lettuce at the very top, then right before you’re ready to eat give it a good shake to get everything mixed well and pour it out onto a plate.
These will stay fresh in the refrigerator for a week.
