HOW TO BUILD A MASON JAR SALAD?
Choose a Salad Jar / Mason Jar that is big enough to accommodate your favourite salad ingredients. Ideally a 750ml Jar works fine. I made one with 750ml and one with 490ml Weck Jar - One for Lunch and the other one for Elevenses. Salads Jars have layers of wet and dry ingredients. I like to build the layers starting with wet ingredients first and finishing it off with super dry ingredients. Ideally start with a layer of dressing or salsa at the bottom. Then comes layers of Cooked Beans or pulses, followed by vegetables /grains. Finally top it with greens and something for crunch, which is completely optional. If you would like to eat your salad out of the jar, remember to leave some room to dig in. But if you would like to eat out of a bowl like me, pack it tight till the top. Just tap the content of your mason jar to a bowl and just enjoy a healthy crunchy mexican delight. You may store the prepared Mexican mason jar salad in the refrigerator for up-to 4 days. Remember to keep them up-right! I love Super dooper Handy mason jar meals just like Overnight Oats Breakfast. I have curated a post with over 50+ Overnight Oats recipes to check out. How about Mango Coconut Overnight Oats, Peanut Butter Overnight Oats instead for a quick reference?

Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil has well balanced fruity flavours & a mild peppery finish. I loved adding them to my Mexican salad in a jar!
