Mason Jar Salads

Salad ingredients of choice! (See above

Prepare all of your ingredients you plan to use in your salad.

Layer 1: The salad dressing.

Layer 2: Hardy veggies or fruit with high moisture content, ascending in order of moisture and density (the wettest and heaviest on the bottom).

Layer 3: Softer veggies or fruit, ascending in order of moisture and density.

Layer 4: Protein (if using) or grains.

Layer 5: Cheese, seeds, nuts. Ideally this layer is a "dry" layer between the salad ingredients and the lettuce. It is best to not have anything wet touching the lettuce as that will cause it to wilt.

Layer 6: Lettuce.

Place a lid on the mason jar and seal tightly. Store for about 3-5 days.
