I’m slow to adopt new trends. Take Mason Jar Salads, for example. I first heard about salads-in-a-jar in a Weight Watchers meeting several years ago. Since then I’ve seen them all over Pinterest. But, because I work from home, I didn’t think they made sense for me.
I decided to reconsider when I realized that some days at lunchtime, even with all the ingredients I needed sitting right in the fridge, I was still too lazy to pull them out and make salad!
So, the last time I made a salad, I made an extra one for the mason jar and put it in the fridge so it would be ready and waiting when I needed a quick and easy lunch.
The cool thing is that these salads-in-a-jar will stay fresh for several days.
I’m going to try to work on developing the habit of putting together an extra mason jar salad or two whenever I’m making one for lunch and dinner. That way there will always be one waiting for me, increasing the odds that I’ll opt for it rather than the cookie-in-the-jar!
The secret to success with these salads is the order in which you layer the ingredients. The dressing and any juicy ingredients go in first. Then heavy, sturdy items, with the fragile lettuce going in last. That’s really all there is to it.

How does one eat these salads … from the jar or do you shake it and put the salad on a plate or on a bowl?
That is actually a great idea. I work from home also so didn’t really think that had much applicability to me. But, you are also right that sometimes I am just lazy at lunch and don’t want to bother making something. I make the same or similar salad often so it would be really easy to just do this when I make another salad.
Thanks, Kitty!
