  • Need dinner in less than 15 minutes? This salad is perfect for busy summer nights! If you use chicken from prep day, it comes together even faster.

This post is a collaboration with Produce for Kids and Meijer. All opinions are my own.

I am so not afraid to take help from the store. The past few months have been super busy, so using helpers like pre-washed lettuce and light dressings are key. When I have extra time, I like to quickly prep grab and go items too: sliced cucumbers, mason jars of carrot sticks, grilled chicken, etc.

YUM! via @DashOfEvansNot only is this salad amazing for lunch or dinner, you can easily make a bunch of mason jar salads. The key to keeping the salads fresh, not soggy, is all in the layering. Put the dressing on the bottom, add veggies or fruits that can marinade in it, then layer your protein to create a barrier from the lettuce. I always put any cheese or nuts on the very top.

The mason jars will last in the fridge up to 4 days–no joking! I actually liked the Day 3 and 4 ones better…they had so much flavor!

As the salad sits, the onions, apples and strawberries marinade and get super delicious. I can actually eat this for a week straight!
