Welcome to Kate’s Kitchen with Teens.

A healthy salad to-go makes a great lunch or after-school snack.

Servings: 1 salad

What you need:

3 cup mason jar or similar

Layer into the jar in this order:

2 tablespoons Italian salad dressing

⅛ cup shredded carrots

2 cups lettuce (mesclun)

⅛ cup cucumber

⅛ cup tomato

⅛ cup yellow pepper

How to assemble: Put the dressing on the bottom, followed by the heavier veggies (carrots, cucumber, etc..) and add the lettuce last. When you are ready to eat the salad, shake the jar, mix the ingredients, and enjoy!
