❀ How To: Healthy Salad recipe for weight-loss | Salad In a Mason Jar ❀

Don’t you hate when you pack your salad for work or school and the lettuce is all soggy from the dressing? Well I have the perfect solution for you! Make yourself a salad in a mason jar:) That way all your ingredients will stay crisp without getting soggy. I love making things ahead of time so I have a delicious lunch to take with me on the go.
_______________________

Serving size= 2 large mason jars

What You’ll Need:
-1 bell pepper
-2 stalks of celery
-1/2 cup chopped tomatoes (I used on the vine but grape tomatoes work well too!)
-1 portobello mushroom
-1 avocado
-2 green onion
-1 cup of beans or grains (I used chickpeas)
-1/4 cup of mixed nuts and seeds (I used a mixtures of sunflower and pepitas)
-2 large handfuls of mixed greens (I used baby greens)

Dressing:
-2-3 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
-1/2 tsp. grainy dijon mustard
-1 tsp. balsamic vinegar
-1/2 tsp. turmeric
-Sea salt & black pepper to taste

Chop up all the veggies and fruit into bite size pieces and divide into two mason jars.

Follow these steps when staking your salad in your jar:

Step #1: Add dressing
Step #2: Add hard veggies and fruit (carrots, peppers, celery)
Step #3: Add beans, legumes, and hard grains
Step #4: Add soft veggies and fruit (avocado, tomato, mushroom)
Step #5: Add greens!
Step #6: Add nuts and seeds

    You need to sharpen your knives. You mushed up the tomatoes.

    how do you eat it? I mean once you ready to eat do you pour it in a bowl or
    straight out of the mason jar? it seems it would be hard because you would
    tend to eat the top fist rather than it all being mixed. I’m curious
    thanks

    I work a lot, how long do they stay fresh if left in the fridge?

  8. bella rodrigues

    Do you just shake it up and eat it from the jar?

    I think avocado would get brown in a salad jar. I’d add that fresh.
    Everything else looks great. I love adding beans to a salad. Makes it a
    substantial meal. YUM!

    I have a really stupid question.. how can I eat it? do I have to mix it
    together first or what?

  12. Megan Elizabeth

    beautiful idea!

  13. xxSimpleCxx

    So beautiful hehe :)

    So this is a good idea and I have done these salads many times before but
    my one concern would be the avocado, if you’re not careful it’ll oxidize
    without some sort of citrus on it, did you have this problem?

    love your salad jar,such a smart idea!
