Mason Jar Salads

I have seen this on pinterest and several other blogs. I could go on for several paragraphs about how these salads have effected my life but if you are anything like me, you wouldn't read it any how and skip right to the goods.
So here they are.

I made a mistake when getting my jars. Make sure you get WIDE MOUTH Quart jars (32 ounces).

Steps:
1. Add dressing first to the very bottom (I use my home made Creamy Garlic Dressing from Beachbody's Ultimate Reset)
2. Next are your crunchy veggies. Mine consisted of green peppers, carrots, and cucumbers .
*I do one cup of veggies
3. Next I added tomatoes
4. This would be the layer to add your proteins (hard boiled egg, chicken breast, ham, etc.)
5. Any cheese or fruits (if any) would go here
6. Lettuce (1 compacted cup of lettuce)
A few side notes
-if you have nuts or croutons you can add them at home or take them on the go separately in foil to keep them crunchy.
-I am NOT on the go with these salads. I am just lazy at home but still prepared so I do not have to cheat. Therefore I do NOT add the 2 TBSP of dressing to the bottom
-these salads have stayed very fresh for me for 5 days. I eat them prior to that so I cannot give a true estimate on how long they actually last.

What are your favorite salad toppings? Post comments or questions below!
