Ingredients
-
2 cup quinoa (cooked)
-
2 cup mixed greens
-
2 cup grape tomatoes
-
1/2 onion (diced)
-
2 green pepper (chopped)
- 4 tsp Braggs vinaigrette
-
2 tsp hemp seeds
Directions
The secret to great mason jar salads lies in the layering, so it’s best to start with the dressing
Add in your resilient veggies (peppers, onions, and tomatoes). Resilient veggies are those that can last long in the bottom of the jar- meaning they won’t get soggy and can handle the pressure of having other, lighter ingredients layered on top
For a complete meal with staying power, add in the quinoa
Next, cover your resilient veggies and protein with a good handful (or two) of greens. Packing the greens tightly will help keep the ingredients in place. Darker varieties, like kale, spinach, or spring mix with chopped romaine, pack more nutrients
With your mason jar, mostly full, sprinkle on your favorite toppings like hemp or chia seeds and even some berries
