Salads in a jar

Ok, this one looks simple, but it is wonderful.

Dip recipe
1 Packet Ranch Dressing
1/2 cup FF milk
1 cup Oinkas Greek yogurt
Put in jar and shake till smooth

Put about 2 T dip in bottom of jar
1 can rinsed black beans  I divided this into the 4 jars
1 T shredded Chedder cheese
1 avocado divided 4 ways
6 sliced grape tomated sliced, per jar

This was wonderful, It is supposed to be eaten with chips, but I ate it as a salad.
Next time I make them, I will add more tomatoes, bell peppers, and maybe some celery.
They stayed fresh for 4 days, and the beans were wonderful in the ranch dip.

This is just my plain salads.  I put in the dressing, put in whole grape tomatoes, put in a little lettuce.  then a fresh organic egg on top.  Yum  Stayed fresh for 4 days.  I'm not sure why they stay fresh so long in a little glass jar, but I sure am happy about it.  Hubby doesn't see the attraction, leaves more for me. 

Food in a jar

Well, its all the rage.  And I love it.  I have been having lots of fun making treats in a jar.  For some reason, I thing they stay fresher, look better, and you get portion control.  I may keep eating if the bowl is out, but for some reason, I would NEVER eat 2 jars.  I do bring the jars to work.  Haven't had any break.

For these pudding treats I used:

5 pint jars
1/2 sliced banana to each jar
Mix one large vanilla pudding according to directions, I shook mine in a jar
Divide pudding evenly
put 4 low fat Vanilla wafers on top
Close lid, and refigerate immediately.

Hubby loved these, they only lasted 3 days, but were still fresh for that long.
