Love this idea for salad for lunch. The possibilities are endless!

Here is a trick to eating salad everyday for lunch. Make a few jars on Sunday night and just grab one to bring to work every day. When you're ready to eat, just shake it up. The key is to make sure the dressing and the Leafy greens don't touch.

Salad is a slider for me. With or without dressing. I know others have said the same.

Just because it is a slider food for you it is not for everyone. I still have to eat salads slowly or they will get stuck. This is a great way for people to get in their vegetables. There are no vegetables that are bad for you even if you consider them sliders.

I am not able to eat salad at all. No matter how much I chew, it just doesn't work out well for me.

I ran across this site the other day and it reminded me of what cheryl2586 posted here, now mind you we can't eat all the stuff that they suggest on the site, but there is some really good ideas like the salad one: http://thedecoratedcookie.com/2010/10/a-mason-jar-meal-my-6th-pfb-challenge/

Why couscous

What kind of dressing do you put in the jar? I love this idea! Thank you for sharing it!

One more question too... Do you weigh the vegetables as you put them into the jar for portion control?

Awesome idea! Jar o' Salad!!! I will do this! I love it!!! Thanks!! :)

Why couscous

Couscous is the only pasta that is packed with protein. Makes a great addition to any salad.

I would measure a cup and that is it.

I do not use fat free anything but if you want fat free that is okay too.
FYI 2 new bansters not to be a downer but salads are often a slider food.

I believe by definition a slider food is easy to eat and can pack on the weight because it is high in fat and sugar.

If a salad goes down easy who cares?!
