Who doesn’t love a good salad? Take it to the next level with these easy salad jar recipes. The fruit adds just the right amount of sweetness to these combos.
Wondering why make a salad in a jar instead of tupperware? The jar allows you to layer the wet ingredients at the bottom including the dressing so your lettuce stays crisps at the top. The jars I use are around 24 oz. and make for a super filling lunch.
Here are the best tips I found for layering:
1. Put dressing at the bottom
2. Add wet ingredients like beans, tomatoes or fruit
3. Add Protein Layer
4. Place greens on the top
- Chicken, Fig & Pecan Salad
This is a new favorite of mine! The ingredients go perfect together and it is super filling. Layers bottom to top:
– Balsamic Vinaigrette
– Celery
– Figs
– Green apple
– Chicken
– Pecans
– Mixed greens
21 Day Fix containers: 1 red, 1 purple, 1 blue, 1 orange, 1+ green.
2. Shrimp Mango Salad
I love mango and shrimp together! I also found purple bell peppers at the market so I thought that was an awesome addition. Layers bottom to top:
– Balsamic Vinaigrette
– Cherry Tomatoes
– Cucumbers
– Purple Bell Peppers
– Mango
– Slivered Almonds
– Shrimp
– Mixed Greens
21 Day Fix Containers: 1 red, 1+ green, 1 purple, 1 blue, 1 orange.
