Notes
- When it comes to layering, start with the dressing at the bottom of the jar. This prevents the other ingredients from getting soggy.
- Finish with the greens last, so they are furthest away from the dressing.
- Top with some nuts and seeds for added crunch.
- Ensure all ingredients are cooled before assembling the jars to prevent condensation and maintain the desired texture and freshness of the salad.
