Kale Sweet Potato Lentil Mason Jar Salad
Description
The salad features a base of brown lentils and cooked quinoa, providing protein and chewiness. Sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts are roasted with oil, salt, and pepper until tender, adding caramelized flavor and softness. Baby kale offers a fresh, slightly bitter green component, complemented by fresh thyme and crumbled feta for brightness and creaminess. A red wine vinaigrette ties all elements together with acidity and olive oil richness.
Ingredients are layered in wide-mouth mason jars starting with dressing, then lentils, quinoa, vegetables, cheese, herbs, and kale to keep greens fresh. Stored in the fridge, the jars allow for quick, portable meals. When ready to eat, the jar is shaken to mix the dressing and ingredients, then poured into a bowl for serving. This method supports meal prep for work or school lunches with balanced nutrition and flavor variety.
