Are you looking for a new, portable lunch option? Layered salads in jars are visually stunning and keep your salad fresh and ingredients separate until you eat. The concept involves placing heavier items and firmer vegetables on the bottom of the jar along with the dressing and the lighter, more fragile ingredients on top. This complete meal in a jar keeps fresh and safe up to three days in the refrigerator.
