Looking for quick lunch ideas? Think salads in a jar. There are a thousand and one combinations and they’re easy to prepare in advance.

Choose a Mason jar with a large opening so it’s easier to pack the ingredients inside and even easier to eat them. If you choose to put the dressing directly in the jar, I suggest putting it at the bottom and starting with ingredients that don’t get too soggy, such as cucumbers or celery.

Pick ingredients that offer a variety of colour. A colourful salad is always more appetizing. Then layer four to seven ingredients in the jar.

Ingredients

1
cucumber, diced
1 cup
chickpeas, cooked
1 cup
chopped and massaged kale, divided
1 cup
