Instructions
In a large bowl or individual serving containers, layer the mixed greens as the base.
Layer the sliced deli meats, diced vegetables, and shredded cheese over the greens.
Add sliced olives, red onion, and any fresh herbs you’d like.
Mason Jar Classic Vinaigrette Dressing
In a clean mason jar, add the olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey or maple syrup (if using), minced garlic (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Seal the jar tightly with the lid and shake vigorously until all the ingredients are well combined and emulsified.
Open the jar and taste the dressing. Adjust the seasoning by adding more salt, pepper, or sweetener to your liking.
Keep the dressing in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh for about a week. Just give it a good shake before using, as the ingredients may separate over time.
Mason Jar Ranch Dressing
In a mason jar, add the mayonnaise, buttermilk, dill weed, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Seal the jar tightly with the lid and shake vigorously until all the ingredients are well combined and smooth.
Open the jar and taste the dressing. You can add more salt, pepper, or a squeeze of lemon juice if you’d like.
Keep the dressing in the refrigerator for up to a week. Shake well before each use, as it may separate over time.
This can also be served with some crusty bread or crackers on the side if you want a bit of crunch.
