Make-ahead salad in a jar is perfect for healthy meal prep. Why use a jar? Not on is a jar an easy portable to-go container, but they are also easy to clean and can stay fresh for longer in the fridge. Separating the ingredients into layers helps to avoid mushy soggy salads; that’s why we start with layering the dressing at the bottom then the harder veggies or grains, followed by softer veggies and fruits then your protein, and finally topped with your fresh greens. When you’re ready to eat, all you have to do is shake it up.
