Salad in a jar

I always hated buying bags of salad only to throw half of it away because it goes bad too quickly. I live by myself and I cannot eat salad as quickly as mother nature and the Dole packers intend. A woman at work told me about an idea she saw on Pinterest. A salad in a jar. You layer the components of a salad, taking care to not get the vegetables mixed up with the dressing, and seal them in a Ball jar. No extra air gets at the lettuce and that keeps it from wilting. I used Italian dressing, feta cheese, dried cranberries, and spinach. I made the salad on a Wednesday and ate it on a Monday. The salad was delicious. It is thrilling to know that I can get three to four more salads out of a bag of produce than I would ordinarily be able to.
