Read online about how to make salad in a canning jar, complete with dressing! She says the trick is to layer, put dressing in the jar first, then your salad add-ins, and last goes the lettuce. To keep fresh up to 10 days they suggest to vacuum seal it.

I'm on a tight budget, but buying a whole head of lettuce isn't worth the work when it spoils for me in a few days before I can eat it all. With the promise of it keeping for so long, I figured I'd take this genius idea a step further to save money by getting everything to wash and prepare myself. The Ziploc brand vacum pump is sold at Walmart for $4, and electrical tape for less than $1! Here's a link to the photo for more ideas and info.
