It's hard to know what to pack for yourself for lunch. There are so many options that look healthy that really aren't--not to mention, that pizza place around the corner is always so tempting.
For anyone looking to lose a few pounds, packing and bringing your own lunch to work is step number one. It ensures that you're eating the right amount of calories and not overdoing it on salt, fat, or carbohydrates. It also saves you a lot of money!
But if you have a long commute, no microwave, or just no time, it can be hard to know what to bring besides a sandwich--and that can get old really fast.
Look no further because we have the answer for you right here: salad-in-a-jar!
The idea is simple. You put your salad dressing on the bottom, then add your toppings followed by your spinach or lettuce. The idea is that since the dressing is on the bottom, it won't leave your spinach or lettuce all soggy.
Genius!
If you're just starting out and have no idea where to begin, we have some amazing recipes for you below thanks to the Domestic Geek. She doesn't use any lettuce or spinach, but you can always add some on top if you want!
