Description

Life gets busy, but that doesn’t mean that daily salads are out of your grasp – prep a salad in a jar in advance, and you’ll eat well all week long!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 23 tablespoons creamy dressing (I like ranch or roasted garlic on this a lot)
  • 1/4 cup radishes
  • 1/4 cup chopped broccoli and/or cauliflower
  • 1/4 cup red cabbage
  • 1/4 cup chopped sweet bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 cups salad greens, such as baby spinach and baby kale mix

Instructions

  1. Place the dressing in the bottom of the jar.
  2. Add the radishes, then broccoli/cauliflower, red cabbage, bell peppers, mushrooms, and carrots.
  3. Fill up your jar with the lettuce.
  4. Screw on the two piece lid (flat and band) and store in the fridge for up to a 7 days.

Notes

  • Beans would make a great addition to this salad and you could add them when you prep it. 
  • You could add some chopped ham or turkey, boiled eggs, or cheese the day you serve it.
  • Find a great ranch dressing recipe here.
  • This doesn’t have any protein added, so it will last up to 7 days in the refrigerator.
