Who says we can't prepare salads and keep them in jars? This way you can take them to work, school or with us when we go out with family. They're light, fresh and delicious meals. Just fill the jars with lettuce, spinach, arugula, chicken, beef and anything you like. I recommend using jars with a large mouth so you can fill it with ease.
