Thanks Helen, happy you enjoyed the videos. I think one thing I would do differently in making this salad in a jar is to have the dressing in a separate container and add it just before eating as adding it too soon might tend to make the other ingredients limp. What do you think? :)

That was neat! I really liked the videos.

When I saw this I thought it was a GREAT idea!!! :)

MY NEWEST LUNCH OBSESSION!!!!! Utterly brilliant, people. Not only does SALAD IN A JAR save space in your fridge, it also reduces food waste and gets non-salad ...eaters (me) to mow down daily.
THE ARRANGEMENT
From BOTTOM to TOP:
Dressing
Shredded carrots
Cherry tomatoes
Sunflower seeds
Hard boiled eggs
Baby spinach
DIRECTIONS
1) Arrange ingredients in a large mason jar
2) Store in fridge for up to a week
3) When ready to eat: shake jar, place on a plate, and eat!

You can make any arrangement you want… you can add red onion, cucumbers, radishes or peppers. Always remember to put the dressing at the bottom and the lettuce at the top—a MUST.

****NOTE**** If your making a few salads at a time for the week, you MUST remember to vacuum seal the Mason Jars. (Mason jars can be bought at Wal-mart, and various grocery stores) They must be vacuum sealed to remain fresh and crisp :) Here are two different ways to vacuum seal a mason jar :)

Helen believe it or not, I used to do this many many years ago and also used my toes to pick up a pencil. I have no idea where you could even get marbles anymore. Do you??

For people who have nothing better to do.

HAVE FUN WITH YOUR FEET

Our feet and ankles endure a lot of stress and strain, so here’ s a fun exercise to build them up. Get a dozen marbles and a plastic cup. Put them all on the floor. Sit down in a chair that lets you move around, and then pick up each marble with the toes of your right foot—one by one, drop them in the cup.

Then dump the marbles and do the same with the toes of your left foot. You may want to add to the fun by timing yourself and trying to set speed records. Whatever you do, try not to “lose your marbles.”
