I love prepping meals in mason jars. Not only are they good to store for days, but the presentation is always on point! Breakfast is already covered with overnight oats in a mason jar, I’ll make this salad and have lunch in the bag (ha!). Thanks for sharing!

I would love it if you would share this and more on my weekly link party : )

In reply to JoDitt. Hi, quinoa needs to be cooked prior to putting it in the jar. The directions are right on the package, but it's usually 2 parts water to 1 part quinoa. For example, 1 cup quinoa and 2 cups water. Mix the quinoa with the water in a pan, bring it to a boil, then reduce it to a simmer and cover it. It takes about 15 minutes for the quinoa to absorb the water. Then just fluff it with a fork. You can eat it hot or cold. For the salad jars, I would let it cool. It has a nutty flavor. You can also cook it in chicken broth instead of water for more flavor. Hope this helps!

I’ve never bought or used quinoa before. Do you have to do anything to it prior to putting it in the jar? Or just pour it in right out of the package?
These sound delicious, by the way.

I have been loving mason jar salads lately, and they have played a big part in my meal planning and weight loss success! I haven’t added quinoa yet, but that sounds wonderful! I think I’ll try the Asian one first 🙂

In reply to Morgan @ Morgan Manages Mommyhood. Yes, friend, I have been there! I remember those days. And I did the same thing, either not eat, or ate late. Messes up the schedule for sure. This is a great way to just have your lunch ready so you can grab and go, great idea!

All of these look SO good! I really need toget into making things like this, as even though I’m a SAHM lunch can get really hectic with 2 under 2 so I’m often either eating super late or skipping all together!
