Arrange 4 quart sized mason jars in a row in your workspace and be sure the insides are dry - minimizing moisture is the key to successfully prepping salads!

Once you have all your ingredients prepared and cooled, it’s time to assemble your mason jar salads.

In the bottom of each of your four jars add the following, from bottom to top:

2 tbsp dressing
1/4 cup red onion
1/4 cup grapes
1/4 of a diced apple
3 oz diced chicken
1 piece of bacon, crumbled
2 tbsp blue cheese, crumbled
spinach until almost full (about 2 cups)
2 tbsp chopped walnuts

Make sure lids are airtight and place in fridge for easy lunches all week. When you are ready to eat, simply dump ingredients onto a large bowl or plate, mix with a fork, and enjoy.
