For a simple, healthy, and economical lunch, nothing beats a salad. Building a salad in an empty mason jar helps ensure that leafy greens, colorful veggies, and tasty add-ons can store easily and travel well. The finished product also promises a wonderfully nutritious and pretty-to-eat meal. Just top off the salad with your favorite zesty dressing and crispy croutons or crunchy nuts, and dig in.

Nutritional expert and Theta sister Leigh Miller, Gamma Upsilon/Miami, will teach us how to assemble Salad in a Jar meals by layering various ingredients packed with protein, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, and eye appeal. We’ll each build three salads to take home using a variety of fresh foods and pantry staples. Making salad in a jar is a perfect way to use up leftovers and recycle old mason jars, plus a fun and convenient way to have a variety of small, balanced meals ready to eat at a moment’s notice. What a fantastic way to add colorful zing to your midday meal!
