Meal Prep Mason Jar Asian Salad (Whole30, Paleo) – greens, peppers, cucumbers, almonds, and the BEST Whole30 approved Asian Sesame Dressing! Prep these mason jar salads ahead for a week’s worth of healthy lunches!
For this week’s Meal Prep recipe, I transformed my super popular Asian Chicken Chopped Salad into a convenient make ahead mason jar lunch. Mason Jar salads are one of my favorite ways to keep meal time super simple and stress free. Just layer ingredients in a large mason jar, store in the frig, then dump in a bowl and eat!
I took all the basic ingredients from the original recipe and substituted Mann’s Power Blend for the coleslaw mix. The result was a nutrition packed salad with awesome flavor and lots of crunch. Be sure when making this salad to add the ingredients to the jar in the order listed. I explain the science behind this here.
The Whole30 Asian Sesame Dressing is so good you’re going to want to take my readers’ recommendation and double it! It is sweet and tangy and also makes a great marinade or dipping sauce.
