I'm super late to the salad in a jar party, of this I am sure. As someone who keeps a small kitchen in my cupboard at work, the need to pack every little bit of a meal into a jar was never necessary. The genius of it that I missed was how it could be made for days in a advance and never lose its freshness. In fact, those little bits in the bottom so close to the dressing? They're marinating in goodness making the salad even better on day two or three. How could I have been so wrong.
