“Make me in a Jar”

Recipe Ideas

Making salads or even breakfasts in a jar makes them easy to pre-prepare the night before, easy to transport and super

fun to eat!

As a general rule, you want to choose salads that don’t have delicate leaves which may get squashed and land up soggy, like cos lettuce. Choose raw, harder vegetables; leaves like Kale and Spinach and think about the layers carefully - put

cucumber on the top.
