Instructions
Fill each mason jar starting with the dressing and "hearty" ingredients like carrots and onions.
Gradually fill the jars with the lettuce, topped with the cheeses, bacon (if using), and any other toppings.
OPTIONAL: If using croutons, wrap them tightly in a plastic bag and add them to the jar.
Salads in jars will last up to 5 days in the refrigerator. It is recommended to eat the jars with seafood items first.
Shake the jars before serving to distribute the dressing. Enjoy!
