Canning jars have so many great uses from smoothies on the go to piling them high with veggies. Try to find a wider mouth mason jar so it’s easier for you to get all of the salad ingredients inside. Meal prepping on a Sunday is a great way to save time during the week. There is no need to vacuum seal the mason jars. Once you make your Mason jar salads and place a lid on them, they will last up to 5 days in the fridge.
