How to Pack a Salad in a Jar – The Definitive Guide & 21 stunning recipes to get you started on the right foot | hurrythefoodup.com

Lunchtime at work can be annoying at times. Some colleagues want to go the Italian restaurant with the unfriendly staff and their super heavy pasta dishes again. Others want to grab something from the supermarket. But it’s a little expensive and not exactly satisfying either. Yes, we’re in dire straights. And that’s why I want to show you how to make a salad in a jar (also known as mason jar salad)!

Of course, bringing your own lunch to work is not the newest idea in the world, but this way of doing it is healthy, time saving, money saving and really tasty. In theory you could prepare lunch for the whole work week in about 45 minutes on a Sunday. The only thing you need are 5 jars (or lunchboxes) and enough space in the refrigerator.

The idea is pretty simple: start with filling a dressing into a jar and then layer various ingredients like greens, veggies, rice and cheese on top. Keep those jars in the fridge until you need them. Grab a bowl and empty the jar. The dressing will then cover the whole salad. Done.

Sounds easy? Well, it is! To get you a little inspired I’ve put together a step-by-step tutorial plus 21 awesome recipes to try out! Alright then, let’s start!… Go too https://hurrythefoodup.com/how-to-pack-a-salad-in-a-jar/ ALL THE DETAILS, and they’re great
