Ingredients

  • 1 cup quinoa Cooked.
  • 1 cup mixed greens
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes
  • ¼ onion Diced.
  • 1 green pepper Chopped.
  • 2 tsp Braggs vinaigrette
  • 2 tspq hemp seeds Optional.

Instructions

  • 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 ingredients in place. Darker varieties pack more nutrients like kale, spinach or spring mix with chopped romaine.
  • With your mason jar, mostly full, sprinkle on your favorite toppings like hemp or chia seeds and even some berries.
