Here are some suggestions to get your salad started:

• Mason Jar with Lid - Glass/Plastic - (number depending on how many salads you would like to serve) 
• Lettuce/Spinach
• Carrots - Cut to your preference
• Tomatoes - Preferably Cherry Tomatoes
• Cheese - Preferably shredded / Flavor of your choice 
• Mushrooms - Preferably sliced
• Croutons - Size of your choice
• Raisins - Dried Cranberries can also be used
• Dressing - Flavor of your choice / *Can be put at bottom of Mason Jar, but do not let it touch the lettuce! You may also put it in another container other than the Mason Jar

 Do not forget to keep your salads in the refrigerator! Seal the lid tight and save it for a quick meal! Make your meal 5 days ahead of  time and give yourself time to pack! Salad in a Jar is the perfect meal for your outdoor adventure!
