Jar Salads for the Weekday Win

Quick confession: I’m not always very good at feeding myself lunch. I make lunch for all the kids and then I stand in the kitchen wondering what I want to eat.

Leftovers again?

Enter the jar salad!

Jar salads are quick to assemble several at once and fit easily in the fridge. All you have to do is dump and eat.

There are SO MANY variations available.

You know I love a “recipe” that allows me to use what I already have.

This time of year (late summer) I have cilantro, tomatoes and peppers, so I’m making black bean and rice jars with Jalapeno Lime Dressing. It’s like a Chipotle burrito bowl in a jar!
