Found this on Facebook the other day. It's a fun and functional way to prepare several salads for yourself during the week. You can find delicious homegrown tomatoes and cucumbers at Country Harvest Greenhouse June through September.
Needed: Mason Jars with 2-part lids and bands, which provide a vacuum seal when closed tightly, preserving the salad items better. Choose either a pint or quart jar, depending on the size of salad you'd like to make.
Ingredients/Arranging Your Jars:
Place the following in the jar in order from BOTTOM to TOP:
Dressing
Shredded carrots
Cherry tomatoes
Chopped cucumbers
Sunflower seeds
Hard boiled eggs
Baby spinach
Store in fridge for a few days, but no more than a week. When ready to eat: shake jar, place on a plate, and eat!
Ingredients are endless - red onion, radishes, peppers, romanie, argula, etc. Just remember to put the dressing at the bottom and the lettuce at the top -- keeps the salad from getting soggy.
