SALADEXTRAVVVAGANZA!

For the past 2 years I started making mason jar salads to take to work and to have on the go. These are especially great for when you can prepare your lunches ahead of time!!
At the beginning of the week I give myself about 1-3 hours from prep to finish for these sweet awesome salads! I like to change things up each week and try different combinations.
Some salads are eh...
Some are FANTASTICO!!!
It's just some trial and error with each new thing!
I hope you find some you like and try a mason jar salad out this week!
I first started doing salads in a jar with old spaghetti jars and now I have moved on to the ol' Mason Jar greatness!
