I've become mildly obsessed with mason jars recently. So far I've just been making a bunch of breakfast smoothies over the weekend and then freezing them in mason jars, but I definitely want to try the salad in a jar technique. Here's a link to a woman who makes six salads (3 different kinds) within an hour. They look so delicious! It would probably take me three hours doing it my first time, but it's worth a try.

She has a lot of other good recipes in there if you aren't ready to try that particular one.

funny how she posts paleo options, but not alternate proteins for vegetarians

Sorry about that, yeah, I think that site is mainly geared towards paleo/primal eating. This site however, all the jar salads seem to be vegetarian, using tofu, quinoa, etc.

I've seen this before, but I'd forgotten about it. Might try it. I can just seem myself taking this with me and substituting one of my sandwiches when I go shopping. I bring my own sandwiches, but the GF bread I make--one that actually holds together--is rather high-cal, so eating only one plus a healthy salad would be better than two with a few carrot sticks. Not sure if I would make up a bunch at a time, as I like my salads made fresh, but still, it's a really neat idea!

Thank you, this is a great idea! I'll be sure to buy some mason jars. They would be so handy for lots of things in the kitchen and elsewhere. I have a mason jar with elastic bands in it, for example, and another with small office supplies like paper clips.

A great idea! I love to make ahead and then just grab and go!
