Best. Ever.

I have 5 sitting in my fridge smiling at me.

I'm eating my first one today!  Why didn't I do this earlier??  Perfect!

I really need to make these, they sound delightful.

A note on Mason jar salads: It is not wise shovel down a quart sized Mason jar salad immediately before starting your run.  I did that about two hours ago and I still feel like I have a bowling ball in my stomach.

I feel like my salads are much too large to fit in a mason jar.

clseale - I think you would be surprised. When I dump mine onto a plate, they barely fit onto my ridiculously oversized dinner plates.

Big ass mason jar.

LOL! I'll have to give them a try. One bag of 50/50 field greens/spinach mix barely makes two of my salads. I guess everything could compact down pretty well. I'll give it a shot.

I stuff my salads the same way I stuff myself into my wetsuit!

I thought so too at first but they really aren't. I use a quart sized jar & just smash, smash, smash. If I dump it into a bowl it's overflowing.

I want to try this, what are your favorite things to pack in your salads? I need new ideas.

I really need to try these.

I did a blog post on my first week of Mason jar salads last night: joggingwithjack.com/2013/04/30/layered-mason-jar-salads/

I think I'm going for a turkey and lentil combo next week like one of my favorite restaurant's.
