Ingredients
Mason Jar Salad
- Herby ranch dressing
- Corn kernels
- Chickpeas
- Cucumber diced
- Cherry tomatoes halved
- Red onion diced
- Mixed leafy greens
- Pumpkin seeds
Instructions
- Grab a few 16-oz or 32-oz mason jars (as many as you want to meal prep) and make the salad dressing by adding all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
- You can use your favorite vegan salad dressing (30+ recipes here) for your salads. You need around 2 tbsp of dressing for each 16-oz jar!
- To assemble the mason jar salads, start with the dressing at the bottom. This will keep it far away from your leafy greens so they stay fresh for longer!
- Next, drain, wash and chop all of the ingredients from above and layer them in the exact order they are listed.
- Important: you need to place corn or chickpeas at the bottom and delicate greens on top!
- Once you’ve assembled your mason jar salads, close them with a lid and put them in the fridge where they’ll last 4-5 days.
- Grab your to-go lunches in the morning, dump the content in a large bowl and mix all ingredients with the dressing once you’re ready to eat!
Notes
- Mason jar salads are perfect for meal prep, especially when they require only fresh and canned ingredients.
- Get creative when making your own salads in a jar and add foods like quinoa, pasta, vegan cheese, bell peppers, edamame, spinach, shredded carrots, red cabbage, avocado, fresh or dried fruit.
