Read MoreTaco Jar Salad
If you can’t tell, I’ve been in jar salad mode for a while now. For me, it’s super easy to accidentally skip out on lunch, so having prepared jarred salads ready to go in my fridge means that I don’t have any excuse to miss out on a meal! These Taco Jar Salad are another great option too. You get a lot of bang for your buck here since there technically isn’t any salad dressing. We’re using salsa here!
The salsa naturally gives the salad a dressing of it’s own that is low in calories and in guilt. Which means you get to load this salad up with all the more taco goodness. We’re talking beans, corn, cheese, tomatoes. All of it! Even the meat and cheese…
Read MoreGreen Goddess Jar Salad
I’m pretty much in love with jar salads right now. They’re just so easy to toss a few together and have them ready to grab-and-go for busy day lunches. This Green Goddess Jar Salad is probably one of my most favorites of the ones that I’ve made so far. It’s light and has a really good mix of textures and flavors between the lettuce, quinoa, tangy pickled onions, and feta cheese too!
As with any jar salad, the layering here is really important. You want to be sure to keep the lettuce and feta up off the dressing at the bottom. When you’re ready to eat it, you just give it a quick shake and either eat straight out of the container or pour out onto a bowl or salad plate…
Read MoreMediterranean Veggie Wrap
With a busy holiday weekend and a holiday itself cutting into the week, I like to be sure that I have plenty of ready-made lunches on hand so that I don’t have to fret about it in the midst of chaos. This Mediterranean Veggie Wrap is one of my new favorite grab-and-go lunches. It’s cool, and crisp, and filling while also being light and vegetarian too!
This wrap starts out with lavash bread, which is honestly my preferred wrap because it can double as a tortilla, and triple as a flat bread pizza crust! Plus, it’s super high in fiber and low in calories. So, you get a lot of bang for your buck. They can do pretty much anything and have just enough stretch to make for the perfect vehicle for a wrap…
Read MoreSouthwest Cobb Salad in a Jar
This is one spiced up salad! I’ve created it in such a way that it is perfect for being a jar salad; layered so that it stays fresh for 3-5 days in the fridge and is great to have on hand for a grab-and-go lunch that you can also enjoy on the go or not!
The whole idea for this salad is to layer it in such a way that it can sit stored in the fridge for a few days and is completely ready to eat as soon as you are. Everything is all included, even the dressing. The trick to it is the layering. All the wet stuff on the bottom and the dry stuff on top. Clever, right?…
