    great combinations :) thanks for all the ideas.
    not in a jar but my favourite salad combo is...

    1 Tbsp balsamic
    1-2 tsp sriracha
    roasted/grilled veggies - carrots, red onion, peppers, zucchini and brussel sprouts
    1/2 cup curried couscous (cooked with hot curry powder)
    10-15 cherry tomatoes, halved
    2-3 cups spinach

    OMG this sounds so good. I would never have thought to combine balsamic and sriracha, but it sounds intriguing. And the roasted veggies...drool.

    "Sounds delicious, although I'm scared to shred raw beets. How much of a challenge in this and does it end up looking like you murdered a small village in your kitchen? any advice?"


    Bahahah!

    Sometimes if I'm just doing one beet, I will use the cheese grater. If I'm doing two or more, I whip out the food processor. Totally worth it to contain the beets.

    Also, if you're worried about the coloring, you could try a beet that is less 'beety'... its called a chiogga beet and has a cool candy cane/bullseye pattern. http://www.thekitchn.com/ingredient-spotlight-chioggia-109155

    This reminds me of the salads in a cup that they had at McDonald's. Those things were pretty tasty! I never could quite remember the name, so I just resorted to ordering a "Salad McHooHah" and they always knew what I meant. :-D
    MC Shakers. Yumm I make this at home for the wife and i all the time. Now i add salsa instead of dressing
