On-the-Go Salad Jars

· ·

You probably already know that putting your salad in a mason jar is the thing to do. But what you may not know is just how easy and how portable these jars can be.salad jars

Turns out that mason jars hold the perfect serving size of salad, and the options are endless! Even better, they work for literally every occasion: office lunch, road trip, beach getaway, or park outing.

Left: Strawberry Feta
What You’ll Need:
Strawberries
Spinach
Walnuts
Feta cheese
Balsamic vinegar dressing

What To Do:
Start with a base layer of dressing and layer your toppings on top. Always start with the heaviest ingredient that won’t absorb all of the dressing—which is why we started with strawberries—and top it off with your light-weight lettuce.

Center: Southwestern Quinoa
What You’ll Need:
Quinoa
Avocado
Red onion
Mango
Black beans
Corn
Lime juice
Olive oil

What To Do:
Some salads don’t need a lettuce base—this version uses protein-packed quinoa, but you can sub in any other grain. We think pasta or couscous could be a great addition here. Start with your dressing (this version just needs a dash of olive oil and a spritz of lime juice) and put quinoa directly on top. Then layer your favorite toppings. Pico de gallo might be a great add here, too.

Right: Italian Mozzarella
What You’ll Need:
Cherry tomatoes
Cucumbers
Kalamata olives
Ball mozzarella
Rotisserie chicken
Romaine lettuce
Italian, Greek, or Ceaser dressing

What To Do:
Pour your dressing into the bottom of your mason jar. Layer your favorite ingredients on top, starting with the heaviest (tomatoes). Top it off with crunchy romaine and enjoy in a few hours.

There's no better time to eat chili than whenever There's no better time to eat chili than whenever you want. Check out @feedyoursister's recipe for Turkey Chili

What you'll need::
• 3 tbsp olive or avocado oil
• 1 tsp pink salt
• 1 container of mirepoix (chopped onion, carrot and celery)
• 3 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped (optional)
• 2 red bell peppers, chopped
• 1 pound ground turkey/beef/chicken (you can also sub in crumbled tofu)
• 1 tbsp chili powder
• 1 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1 tsp cumin powder
• 2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
• 1 large can of diced tomatoes (28 oz)
• 2-3 cans of beans (Black, pinto, kidney, refried or aduki beans are great choices.)

What you'll do::
In a large pot, add in the first six ingredients and sauté over medium heat until the onions and peppers have a chance to sweat and soften, about 5-7 minutes.

Add in meat of choice or tofu. Stir around and crumble using a wooden spoon until all the meat is mostly cooked.

Add in chili powder, cayenne (if using) and cumin. Stir ingredients around in the pot to prevent burning.

Add in stock, diced tomatoes and beans. If you are adding in extra chopped veggies, add them in now as well. Mix to combine.

Let simmer for about 40 minutes.

Fill your bowl with whatever toppings you’d like and enjoy!
