Collection of 4 Mason Jar Salad Recipes.  These salads are healthy and easy to pack for lunch.  Recipes include Watermelon and Feta Salad, Caprese Salad, Green Bean and Feta Salad and Southwestern Salad.

Mason Jar Salad Recipes

I’m obessed with Mason Jar Lunches!  They are just the perfect lunch time choice because you get to pack lunch.  Also, since you’re packing lunch it’s a economical choice.  Plus.. they look pretty cute! 

Mason jars work great because it’s a vertical layered lunch.  Instead of mixing it together like a salad, you stack it together.  This allows you to keep some vegetables inside more crunchier instead of wilting at the touch of a salad dressing.  I also love how quick it is to make a Mason Jar lunch.  I can make the entire weeks worth in 30 minutes.    Because you are packing all the ingredients together in the jar you are keeping the vegetables fresher longer.

Easy to make Mason Jar Green Bean and Feta Salad. Ingredients for this healthy salad include green beans, tomatoes, shallots, balsamic vinaigrette, feta cheese and basil. 
Prep Time: 1 minute
serves 1

Ingredients

  • 3 cups green beans
  • 2½ tablespoons Balsamic Vinaigrette
  • ¾ cup halved cherry tomatoes
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced shallots
  • 6 or 7 basil leaves
  • 2 ounces crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 quart-size Mason jar

Instructions

  • Trim the ends from the green beans; cut the beans in half crosswise. Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat (don’t salt the water), add the beans, and boil for 5 minutes. Transfer the beans to an ice-water bath for a minute to stop the cooking process and preserve their color. Drain. When the green beans have cooled, layer the salad ingredients in the Mason jar, beginning with the vinaigrette and continuing with the tomatoes, shallots, cooked beans, basil leaves, and feta cheese. Seal and refrigerate until ready to use.

    Love this…….You should check out http://www.cuppow.com I just heard about it. They have a small container that fits in the top of a mason jar to hold your dressing. Keeps it separate until needed. Just an idea to compliment your wonderful recipes! Thanks

    I normally pack a lunch and actually put things into their own little compartments so that nothing gets soggy or wet that shouldnt. My coworkers call them my “complicated” lunches. These look so tasty and so un-complicated! I’m loving the caprese in a jar.

    Stocking up on lunch supplies and preparing them ahead of time is difficult but I try to do it as often as possible. These little mason jars are a great idea, and easy too! The watermelon and feta is salad is calling my name!

    Such a creative idea! Much nicer than a boring lunchbox (though don’t tell my lunchbox that… it’s pretty good at heating up soup for lunch…) Thanks for all the great ideas!
