We often have a salad with our dinner. Sometimes, you want to mix it up a little. Make it look a little different. These Mason jar salads did just that. Great greens, juicy explode-in-your-mouth tomatoes, and a few croutons, all topped with homemade dressings. It might be just a salad. But put it in a jar and everyone ‘oooohs’ and ‘aaaaahs’. Just like they do for my classic wedge salads.
Eating Out Of A Jar Is Fun
You can put anything you want into these salads. As long as it’ll fit through the jar opening. I used jelly Mason jars since they are big around the base. They also have a large mouth, making it easier to get to the salad.
For dressings, I like to make jars of my homemade Catalina dressing or homemade Italian dressing.
