When it comes to eating lunch at work or school, you or your kids are faced with two choices. You can either buy prepared food from the cafeteria or eat a healthy lunch you prepared at home.
When it comes to a healthy lunch, salads can’t be beaten. Storing your salad in a plastic container and bringing a bottle of dressing isn’t the most convenient option. This is one of the reasons why I love a Mason jar salad because you can stack all the salad ingredients including the dressing and just give them a good shake when you’re ready to eat!
These four pasta salads in a jar recipes by The Domestic Geek are perfect for back-to-school lunches or healthy work lunches. You can have a different salad nearly every day of the week and they are so good.
