    One of your salads included grated beets (Yum!) - - can you tell me if you use raw, cooked, or canned??? Thanks for all the wonderful ideas and recipes!

    OMG this sounds awesome. I will try each one. I am a HUGE salad person and really making my own dressing vs using a store bought. When I do my own I KNOW what's in it and can adjust the taste. I do have a few store bought ones that I like. All of these sounds amazing.

    Yummy! Thanks for reminding me about avocados! I don't usually think to put them in a jar.

    Grated beets are raw in my salads just because its most convenient that way for me.

    I imagine you could use cooked or canned if you had them handy and/or needed softer beets.

    I do this with my Caesar Salads all the time.

    2 Tbsp Cardini's Original Caesar
    3 Oz grilled chicken, diced
    1 Oz Shaved Parmesan
    2 C Hearts of Romaine

    I do leave OUT the croutons until after I mix it.

    Thanks so much for these great ideas! As someone who gets stuck in a lunch rut and ends up buying junk.. this could save the day!

    This week's salad in a jar is sesame-ginger-orange chicken with no grain.

    Each jar gets (from bottom to top):
    1 tbsp sesame oil
    1tbsp lemon juice
    1/5 of 2 tbsp finely chopped pickled ginger (you could use fresh if you had it, I was out)
    1/5 of 2 chicken breasts cooked in 1-2 tbsp sesame oil, chopped
    1/5 of 3 small to medium mandarin oranges, peeled and sectioned (I'm sure canned would be fine here, too, I just happened to have fresh ones)
    1/5 of 2 medium shredded carrots
    1/5 of one and a half heads of chopped green leaf lettuce

    No grains in this week's salad.

    The rundown:
    333 cal, 14 g carb, 21 g fat, 24 g protein, 3 g fiber, 8 g sugar

    Note to self: remember to put a fork in your backpack, as eating salad with a spoon is tricker than it sounds.

    Mine is the salad in the old cottage cheese container. But I like the idea.
