Mason Jar Salads: perfect for easy prep and on-the-go.
Ingredients
Honey Balsamic Vinegar Dressing
- 1/8 cup honey
- 1/4 cup balsamic
- 1/2 cup oil
- Squirt of dijon mustard
- Salt & Pepper to taste
The Salad Components
- Cucumbers sliced
- Bell peppers chopped
- Red onions thinly sliced
- Mediterranean chicken skewers from Costco or homemade
- Quinoa or garbanzo beans
- Lettuce
- Feta cheese optional
Instructions
- 1: Layer the Dressing: Pour the honey balsamic vinegar dressing into the bottom of a mason jar. This prevents the veggies from becoming soggy by keeping the dressing separate until you're ready to eat.
- 2: Add Crunchy Chopped Veggies: Layer the sliced cucumbers, chopped bell peppers, and thinly sliced red onions on top of the dressing. Starting with the crunchiest veggies first helps maintain their crispness.
- 3: Add Protein: Next, add the chopped mediterranean chicken skewers to the jar.
- 4: Boost with Grains: Sprinkle in some cooked quinoa or garbanzo beans for added protein and fiber. This step helps keep you feeling full and satisfied.
- 5: Top with Lettuce + Feta: Add a generous portion of lettuce and a sprinkle of feta cheese. Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate until you're ready to enjoy.
- 6: To Serve: When you're ready to eat, simply dump the contents of the mason jar into a bowl and give it a toss.
