One thing I like about a salad in a jar is that you can make this up ahead of time. It is perfect to make the night before to have ready for lunch the next day. I found that the lettuce still does stay fresh and it doesn’t get soggy since the salad dressing is at the bottom of the jar. This recipe for Chef Salad in a Jar is super easy to make and will help keep you healthy.

Made this for mine and my hubby’s lunches, love how portable it is! It was delicious!
This is great to hear. Sometimes I make them ahead of time on Sunday for the week so I can grab and go. It is so convenient.
