Salad in a Jar

My friend, Amy sent me to another friend's site where I discovered how to make a salad in a jar. Anything with fresh ingredients that I can prepare in advance is worth a try for me! Apparently these stay fresh for up to five days! If you're on-the-go during the day, you could make these Sunday night and eat fresh veggies all week! I had ingredients enough for two, and I tweaked the recipe to fit my needs.

It's important to start with the dressing so it doesn't get soggy.

After the dressing, I added shredded carrots.

Next came the cucumber and red onion. Later I discovered broccoli in the fridge and felt sad that I hadn't included it! I think I would have needed a larger jar for anything else, though!

I didn't have any feta or gorgonzola, so I added shredded almonds and raisins instead.

I put the lettuce on top, and I later added some spinach, too.

I compressed it to fit as many greens as possible!

With my salad in a jar and my green smoothie, I have the dynamic breakfast+lunch duo!

The only downside is that my lunchbox is so heavy! :)
