Follow These Meal-Prep Tips to Make a Week of Mason-Jar Salads That Stay Fresh Through Day 7

For the past few months, I've been trying to eat more greens, so I don't add those to the mason jar — there wouldn't be any room for the other veggies! I found that keeping my greens separate helps them stay fresher longer, especially the delicate ones like spring mix or spinach. My salads stayed fresh for over seven days!

You can buy the big containers of greens to make life easier, or if you prefer, you can prep big heads of lettuce or bunches of kale. Just wash the leaves, dry them using a salad spinner and dish towels, and place them in a big container with a few sheets of paper towel to absorb any excess moisture.
