Notes

  • The point of mason jar salads is to be able to meal prep them in advance while they stay fresh and prevent them from getting soggy.
  • In order to for this to work, you have to layer the ingredients in the correct order and secure them tightly with a lid.
  • I order my ingredients from wet to dry. Some people order them from density, but I find that starting with wet on the bottom, keeps the lettuce from getting soggy.
