Preparing salads in jars is nothing new. This is a great way to pack a salad and have a healthy lunch at work or while traveling. However, most people don’t realize that this is also a great way of preparing salads at home.
Food blogger My Nguyen recently uploaded a video on TikTok in which she demonstrated why everyone should prepare their salads in jars even if they are not going anywhere.
The clip shows her holding a jar in which she stacked Mediterranean Salad ingredients on top of each other in a big jar. Starting from the bottom up, she placed tomatoes, red onions, cucumbers, chickpeas, olives, feta cheese, and lettuce. Nguyen then flipped the jar and spilled the veggies on a plate.
By making salad in a jar, Nguyen not only got some great photos of her meal, but this prepping technique also allowed her to have better control over how different ingredients come together in a salad. As an added bonus, the TikToker also shared a simple recipe for a Balsamic Vinaigrette salad dressing.
Of course, the “salad in a jar” stuff didn’t sit well with everyone, with some users arguing that it was a waste of time. However, the video has since gone viral and received more than 10 million. Check it out below and see if it’s worth trying out.
