This salad is rocking my world and upping my salad in a jar game too!!
There is nothing I love more than a handy + neat little salad pre-prepped in a mason jar (ok my kids & dog might top it...lol.)! They are convenient and make my weekly lunches a breeze.
No more stopping at Whole-paycheck...to build a $8-$10 salad. Or stopping at Starbucks for a salad and leaving with a coffee + an empty wallet!
Yes the jar salad is making my life and my hubbies life easier, healthier and well maybe a little wealthier too!
