I totally stole this idea. But, it’s amazing.
See, I love salad. But it takes so many containers to bring it to work, it’s pretty annoying. So I usually just blow it off and get Subway when I’m at work. Which, their salads SUCK, and are overpriced. So I usually just get a sandwich, which defeats the purpose of the whole “cut back on sugar thing”. Anyway.
I saw this. And you can make a salad like this up to 4 days in advance before it starts being less fresh. AS LONG AS THE DRESSING DOESN’T TOUCH THE SPINACH/LETTUCE.
This particular layering was amazing, because my onions and mushrooms marinated all day in this amazing home made vinaigrette dressing.
The order I put things in the jar?
- Dressing
- Onions
- Mushrooms
- Cherry Tomatoes
- Cucumbers
- Spinach
Seal it up tight, and you’re good to go.
In 2 baggies I brought along some cubed chicken and some cheese. I just shook the salad to coat in dressing, poured on a plate and topped with the chicken and cheese. It was a wonderful lunch.
