Mason Jar Salad

 

Here's a peek inside daughter Willow's fridge. These are quart jars with all the fixings for a lovely salad, ready to invert onto a serving plate.

She likes to keep things like this made up to offer nutritious options for their hectic life style with three little athletes.


There are recipes and instructions at the website andianne.com - search for 6 Great Mason Jar Salad Recipes.

Basically, you start with the salad dressing on the bottom. Next layer on the most stable vegetables (as carrots, broccoli) and beans. Next is couscous, quinoa or chicken. Now add the more weepy fruits and/or veggies (tomatoes, strawberries or blueberries).  Next is the salad greens with crumbled bacon, pine nuts or almond slivers sprinkled on top.

Almost too pretty to eat, aren't they?
