WHY MASON JAR SALADS ARE AMAZING

Thing is, when packed properly, the mason jar helps to preserve the salad contents so you can be eating them for days. And the veggies are still crisp and delicious.

Plus, the happiness that comes from opening the refrigerator to a neat row of gorgeous mason jar salads is pretty much priceless.

WHAT YOU NEED FOR MASON JAR SALADS

Wide-Mouth Plastic Lids – While I used metal lids for a long time, once I switched to these it was no going back. Way easier to use and clean and use.
