Protect Your Produce - Real Simple. How to Pack a Week's Worth of Make-Ahead Salads | HelloGlow.co. Salad is often my go-to lunch. I’ve mastered the art of packing salads ahead of time because who has time to chop veggies in the morning? Not me. Here are some tips I’ve learned along the way to keep lunch salads tasting fresh all week long. Simply prep the greens, veggies, protein and dressing ahead of time, then toss in any-last minute ingredients on your way out the door in the morning. 1. When it comes to packing the salads, my favorite way is to layer the ingredients in a quart-size canning jar. 2.

The best way to layer the salads is to start with the chopped veggies on the bottom and end with the leafy greens on top. Chop the veggies all at once when you’re prepping. 3. I like to buy pre-washed greens, either a spring mix or baby spinach, because it saves time washing and drying the greens. 4. To make salads more hearty and filling, add protein. 5. Dressing can also be made in advance. 6. With a little bit of prep time you’ll be enjoying yummy, healthy salads all week long! Freezing Sandwiches | UNL Food.
