Is there anything you can’t do with a canning jar? They can be used to freeze homemade margarita mix, ferment pickles, display a collection of beach glass, organize screws and nails, and store bulk grains.
So it should come as no surprise that there’s yet another amazing (and handy) thing you can do with canning jars: they make a perfect container for a lunch-on-the-go. Meet your new fresh and healthy friend: salad in a jar.
Start with a clean, dry mason jar. For a small to medium salad with few greens, a pint jar is perfect. If you like a lot of greens, or want to make a large salad, use a quart jar. Wide-mouth canning jars are easiest to fill, but regular jars work for smaller ingredients just fine. Depending on how hearty you like your salads, fill the jar as follows:
Twist on the top, stick the salad in the fridge, and you’re good to go! When you’re ready to eat, the salad will be dressed by the act of emptying the jar, so shaking is not necessary but you can give it a gentle shake just before emptying if you like. Enjoy your fresh, crisp salad and be prepared to soak up compliments around the lunch table with your fun and functional salad in a jar.
