Salad in a Jar

Reasons to put salad in a jar:

♥ When you are bringing it to a picnic, or lunch at the office. Jars are great space savers…

♥ When you’re keeping salad in the fridge to eat at a later time…and you found out that you just run out of microwaveable plastic containers…

♥When you have a THING for meals or food in a jar…

♥When you have a THING for jars..

Yup, I have this thing for  food in jars. The homemade ones, I think they’re cool.

I also have a major thing for jars. Sometimes when I go to the mall, I end up taking home three colorful, cute jars in different shapes and sizes.

I can get excited over a milk jar, peantubutter♥ thinks it’s crazy. He’s just doesn’t know it but milk jars can be the cutest thing.

I’d say jar collecting is highly addictive.

You should try it sometime.

I probably make no sense today–talking about jars–LOL!

I’m sleepy. I need coffee and sugar.

Thank you for dropping in today and hearing me talk about jars…

This is what the salad looks like if it isn’t inside a jar. I’d say it’s doesn’t have the same  je ne sais quoi as the one inside the jar all layered up and beautiful.

Salad in a Jar

Author: The Peach Kitchen
Ingredients
  • Romaine Lettuce, torn into pieces
  • pecan halves
  • cucumber, diced
  • carrots, julienned
  • red onion, chopped
  • ham, diced
  • Balsamic Vinaigrette
Directions
  1. Layer up the ingredients in a jar starting with the balsamic vinaigrette or any dressing that you want.
  2. I started with the balsamic vinaigrette, ham, onion, carrots,cucumbers, pecans and put the romaine lettuce on top.
  3. Before eating, give the jar a shake for the vinaigrette to touch each of the salad ingredient.
  4. Now all you need is a fork to eat it right out of the jar.
Notes
Make sure the dressing and the lettuce doesn’t touch each other, specially if you are going to eat this at a later time. The lettuce will wilt if it’s soaked up with the dressing.

    And quite a good way to eat healthy at work or at school. 🙂 I am not a big salad eater, but I so wish I can learn the habit of eating salad.

    Thanks for linking up, Peach!

As a LACTUMama, I'm always on the lookout for acti As a LACTUMama, I'm always on the lookout for activities that will help support Twinkle's Immunity, Brain and Bones. Good thing this All Around Development Kit from @Lactum3 arrived over the week, kaya naman ito ang aming bonding activity this weekend!

Ang saya ni Twinkle because it has all the fun exercises and activities she really enjoys doing. We planted Arugula, Mustard, and Alfalfa seeds, painted the post, solved a puzzle, and played Twister. Afterwards, I made sure to give her a glass of cold Vitaminized Lactum 3+ which helps support her all-around development in Immunity, Brain and Bones with proper nutrition and stimulation.
