Salad in a jar

Ice berg - half a head
Romaine- 4 leafs 
1 bunch of fresh spinach 
1/3 red onion
1 tomato
1/2 cucumber
1/2 cup of pre shredded carrots
1/4 cup of red shredded cabbage 
Finely chop all ingredients  
Chop the lettuce 
Chop the spinach 
Boil 3 eggs 
Slice the eggs. I use a egg slicer it is much easier and the slices are smoother 
 
I then chop the eggs with a chopper 
I use 16 ounce mason jars. Make sure you wash them with hot soapy water prior to initial use.  
I then layer the fresh ingredients. This particular order was, starting from the bottom to the top
1. Tomatoes
2. Shredded Carrots
3. Red shredded cabbage
4. Romaine Lettuce  
5. Iceberg Lettuce
6. Spinach
7. Red Onions
8.Chopped Eggs
The key to this is making sure you chop, cut, and or shred your salad with to a size that is suitable for you to eat and put in a jar. You can use more or less if the ingredients depending on the size of your jar. taste preference and how any you are preparing. Enjoy!
