Jar Salad Round up- Top TEN!!

Jar Salads are obviously a very important part of my Trim Healthy Mama (THM) journey.  I hate to say that I don’t love vegetables but I don’t and jar salads are a great way for me to get a good dose of green each day.  Making a different jar salad each week gives me great variety.  I’m happy to eat the same jar salad all week and I’m excited for a new one the next week.  I make them all up at one time so I have one mess and then I’m stocked and ready for great fast lunch choices.

I’ve given you LOTS of jar salads to try but I thought this week I would share with you my favorites.  Maybe this will encourage you to get the ingredients on your list and make some up this week!

   Dressing helps to make the decisions!

   That was harder to choose than I thought!  I have to say that I base my decisions on the type of dressing!  As you can see my favorite is the poppy seed dressing but I also absolutely love my new honey mustard dressing and the Catalina style sugar-free THM dressing.

   Tips and Tricks

   I’m sure many of you haven’t tried the jar salads because they are something different.  I have written some tips and tricks to help you troubleshoot the jar salad world.  I cannot make it through the week without these stocked in my fridge.  They help me stay on track and are large salads that keep me full!

Salad Chopper

Another little trick that I have started using is that I do not buy bagged shredded lettuce anymore.  I know crazy because I LOVE shredded lettuce, especially for jar salads.  After a trip to Subway, I watched the employee shred lettuce and mix my salad like a champ!  Since then I found these amazing lettuce chopping scissors from pampered chef and they are amazing!  If you want to purchase a pan you can do so at this link.  As a bonus, this link (click the photo below) helps supports my friend Laura who is expecting TWINS very soon!
