    Greek Salad in a Jar: Perfect Weekday Lunch

    Since we can't actually travel to Greece every day, we might as well bring the flavors home!

    Greek Salad in a Jar

    I’m a fan of eating a salad for lunch, but a boring desk salad is the last thing I want. When I don't like what I packed for the day I don't look forward to a break and I’m more tempted to buy something that sounds more interesting. Plus, if it's a tiny salad, I'm also starving like 30 minutes later. If you have a similar struggle, step up your salad game with this Greek Salad in a Jar.

    This salad leaves me looking forward to the mid-day break and leaves me full through the afternoon. For added protein try adding some chickpeas in the mix.

    Some people add dressing in the jar, and if you do, you'll want to add it in first, before the lettuce. But, I don't! I don't like wet lettuce. I prefer to put the dressing on the side and add it just before eating.

    For added bonus, stuff a paper towel on top of the veggies before sealing the jar. This helps absorb extra moisture from the vegetables and gives you a better, more satisfying salad.
