Instructions

Add ⅓ cup of dressing per jar. Add the garbanzo beans and quinoa (if using). This will make the garbanzo beans and quinoa absorb flavor from the dressing.
Add ⅓ of each of the cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, and pack the lettuce in each jar. Put the lid on each jar and store it in the refrigerator until ready to eat.
When you’re ready, remove the lid and dump and toss the salad in a large bowl.

Notes

Layer correctly: Make sure to place the dressing at the bottom then layer starting with the hardest/most durable ingredients first, then softer veg, and finally delicate leafy greens/herbs on top.
Use airtight jars: To ensure the salads stay fresh for as long as possible.
Shake before serving: Or transfer the ingredients to a plate/bowl, to ensure the salad is thoroughly tossed.
