Recipe of the Month

Salad in a Jar!

layer the veggies in each jar in this order:
1/8 cup onion
1/8 cup chopped zucchini
1/8 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/8 cup carrots
5 cherry tomatoes
Next, put in a 1/4 cup of quinoa in each jar. Quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wah) is a seed that’s full of protein.
Then add 1 cup of the Dole baby spinach and tender reds to each jar.
When you’ve put all your layers in, just screw the tops on the jars and put them in the refrigerator.
Using a handy online calorie counter and some non-fancy math, I figured up that each of this week’s salads has 182 calories. I’m usually less rigid about how much of each vegetable goes in each jar, but I wanted y’all to have a frame of reference (and because I used leftover veggies instead of buying new, whole ones this week.)
Dressing to your liking..I like to use a 'snack sized' zip lock, it tucks right inside the lid!
There you have it. The salad in a jar — it’s refreshing, nutritious and an easy way to have a healthy lunch each day of the week.
