A layered Mason jar salad recipe with French lentils, tomatoes, onion, lettuce, and a mustard vinaigrette makes a delicious and healthy meal prep lunch or dinner.
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil.
- juice of 1/2 lemon
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar.
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard.
- 1 tablespoon coarse seeded mustard.
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- pepper to taste
- 2 cups cooked brown or green lentils (see note)
To assemble the mason jar salads, place 2 tablespoons of the dressing into the bottom of (3) quart-sized mason jars. Top each with 2/3 cup cooked lentils, 2/3 cup tomatoes, 1/4 cup onions, and 2 handfuls of greens.
When ready to eat your mason jar salad, simply give a good shake to distribute the dressing. Transfer to a large plate and enjoy. We love this salad topped with avocado.
