Salad in a Jar

There's a lot of buzz going on this week about being and eating healthy again.  Whatever your goal is, I do highly recommend salad in a jar party. When I arrived in Rochester last year, I was invited to a salad in a jar party by a friend, Tammi.  I thought the concept was awesome.  I attended the first one and have been hooked since then.

People gather to create salad in jars for their meals for the week.  Each person brings a salad topping.  All the salad toppings are lined up so with my jars, I fill up each jar.  I start with the dressing then I follow with salad toppings.  When I am ready to eat, I take any dark leafy greens and then pour out the jar's contents.  Sometime I add animal protein to my salad such as chicken or fish.

Truthfully, it's the easiest and healthiest way to get five meals all lined up.  Plus it's nice to be around others who want to eat healthy as well.
