Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 wide-mouth mason jars 16 oz
  • 4 cups mixed greens packed
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or farro cooled
  • 1 cup cooked chicken cubed (optional)
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta or cheese of choice
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds or nuts
  • Dressing: 1/2 cup vinaigrette per jar frozen separately in ice cube tray

Method
 

  1. Put dressing cubes in a labeled freezer bag and freeze flat. This keeps dressing separate and easy to thaw.
  2. In each jar, layer ingredients bottom to top: grains, chicken, tomatoes, carrots, cheese, seeds, greens. Keep greens on top to avoid sogginess.
  3. Seal jars tight and freeze upright on a tray until solid. Store bags flat to save space.
  4. To eat: thaw jar in fridge overnight, add one dressing cube to jar, shake, and enjoy cold or at room temp.
