I use pint jars for side salads and quart size for main dishes. 🙂

What size are the jars you use for the salad-in-a-jar? What a wonderful idea. I am on day 7 of the 24 day challenge. All the tips I can get are helpful.

Stack them in the right order, and the lettuce stays nice and crunchy. More info here: https://wholefully.com/salad-in-a-jar-101/

How do the salad in the jars keep fresh for 3-4 days?

Hi! That’s no longer our food budget because my job is now recipe development, so groceries are a business expense. But before that, $500 was for two people eating mostly whole foods and organic. And no, I don’t track calories. 🙂
