3 Delicious Salad Jar Recipes that Will Make You A #MealPrepMaster

Salad jars are not only super delicious but super practical. The key to making the perfect salad jar is in the layer order.

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
