The Make Ahead Salad
 
 
Ingredients
  • 1 bag organic spring mix lettuce
  • 3 organic Persian cucumbers or 1 regular cucumber, halved lengthwise and sliced
  • 1 organic bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 cups organic shredded carrot
  • ⅓ cup raw sunflower seeds
  • 1 ½ cups Lauren’s Favorite Dressing
Instructions
  1. Once your ingredients are prepped, line up the six mason jars on your counter with the lids removed.
  2. Add 2-3 Tablespoons of dressing to the bottom of each mason jar, being careful to not get any dressing on the sides of the jars.
  3. The next step is very important. The order that you add the veggies is crucial. Do the sliced cucumbers first, then the bell peppers, shredded carrot, and sunflower seeds. Make sure you divide the ingredients evenly among the six jars!
  4. Lastly, you want to add the lettuce. The key to this step is packing the lettuce down to fit a good amount inside the jar. One bag of lettuce will be the perfect amount for all six jars.
  5. Now screw the lids on and pop those babies in the fridge! You now have six salads ready to eat when you are.
  6. When you are ready to eat the salad, simply unscrew the lid, dump the salad upside down into a bowl and voila! The dressing will pour out and coat all the lettuce and veggies. Mix ingredients around and it’s time to eat! Easy-peasy.
