If you're tired of the same boring lunch, this is your sign to try meal prep salad jars! Not only do they stay perfectly fresh for days, but they're also packed with colorful veggies, a yummy dressing, and protein!
There is nothing worse than coming home after a long shift at work and having to cook dinner. That's why keeping these jars in the fridge is GAME CHANGER when it comes to healthy eating!
I have found I'm eating less takeout and more nutrients when I have these jars meal prepped.
The trick in this recipe is keeping the dressing at the bottom and veggies on top, so everything stays crisp and fresh until you're ready to eat!
