    WHAT ARE MASON JAR SALADS?

    HOW DO YOU MAKE A MASON JAR SALAD?!

    PERFECT QUESTION! Let me show you how with this mason jar greek salad with chickpeas!

    FIRST. Start with your dressing.

    This greek salad dressing is a delicious lemon vinaigrette!

    In a small bowl combine lemon, olive oil, salt and other ingredients. whisk together.

    olive oil, lemon, pepper, salt

    HOW DO I LAYER MASON JAR SALADS?

    As shown, you want to start with your dressing. (for this recipe it is the lemon vinaigrette) Then you want to layer your hardest veggies or beans next, moving up to your soft veggies to your leafy greens! This will help avoid anything from getting "soggy" from the dressing.

    With this mason jar greek salad with chickpeas start with the chickpeas.

    Are chickpeas also garbanzo beans?

    YES! I rarely can find a can of beans that are actually labeled chickpeas, don't stress, look for garbanzo beans. If you need another substitute bean, you can try great northern beans (a white bean) they won't have the same texture, they will be softer- but will have a mild taste to them.

    LAYER:

    DRESSING  (lemon vinaigrette)

    BEANS (chickpeas)

    VEGGIES (cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, olives)

    CHEESE (feta)

    GREENS (parsley...  some spinach would also be amazing too!) 

    HOW TO LAYER MASON JAR SALADS

     

    WHAT IS THE BEST LID FOR MASON JAR SALADS?

    While you can use the metal lid they come with they are NOT recommended for reuse. They dont seal properly, and become rusty with washes and use. I LOVE LOVE these plastic reusable white lids. The come in both wide mouth and regular. You can wash them 100 times and keep using them. You can grab them for a great price here on amazon or pick them up at walmart.

    Now that your salad is done store it until ready to eat in the refrigerator!

    How long do mason jar salads last?

    They last 6-7 days in your refrigerator.

    How do you eat mason jar salads?

    Because the mason jar salads are layered they are not meant to be eaten out of the jar. Dump the contents onto a plate or bowl. The dressing will cover the ingredients and you'll be ready to devour it all!
