If you have
ever made this Seven Layered Salad, you know that the recipe makes a lot and is
not really a great salad on the second day. Everyone has been making salads in
a jar… and I thought why not a layered salad?
The recipe
divides into four quart jars. And each jar is enough for a single salad for
dinner or two side salads.
Absolutely
delicious and so easy to make. One week later, the salad was still perfect. You
can take it on a picnic… or give it to a friend for dinner.
And besides.... it is so pretty. I am joining Yvonne's Tutorial and helping her start a new party... She is also having a giveaway... Very Exciting!!! Thank you for inviting me Yvonne.

Love your salad!! Everything is better in a jar :)
ReplyDeleteI have a question. How are these delicious looking salads in a jar served? Do you eat them out of the jar or pour into a bowl or salad plate? Sorry to sound ignorant.
