Mason Jar Salad Recipe

This 21 Day Fix Mason Jar salad is the easiest thing to meal prep! They can be made up to a week ahead of time, and you can customize them with any ingredients you like. More green containers? Easy–add cucumbers, more tomatoes, or even zucchini. Need more red containers? Add chicken or beef to the recipe.

If you’re on Weight Watchers, this recipe is only 3 Blue Plan Points, 6 Green Plan Points, 0 Purple Plan Points and you can have ALL the fresh veggies you’d like for those points!

I don’t love cheese, so I don’t include it in my salads, but I know there are a lot of cheese lovers out there! Customize this salad with anything you’d like, but be mindful of the container count before you close them up and put them in the fridge for the week.
