In reply to Shara. Hi Shara, This is the only specific mason jar recipe, but many of my salads can be assembled in that fashion. The formula for layering is what is crucial. Start with the dressing, then add beans and grains, then any veggies, then greens, and save the crunchy elements, cheese, or dried fruit for the top or store separately. Any of the bean salads I have can be stored in this way with greens on top and make a great mason jar prepped salad for lunch. I hope this helps!

My husband and I absolutely love this mason jar salad recipe! Do you have any other mason jar salad recipes? I struggle to mix and match and do better at just following a recipe. I’ve tried other bloggers but I like yours so much better!!!

These are great to give to someone who just had a baby. I made six for a friend (omg prob 8 years ago now.) But a fews years later she asked me for the recipe – to make for HER new mom friend because she remembered loving them so much postpartum. Easy and fresh.

In reply to Cynthia. Since you will be cooking the farro, this is dried measurement.

Hi: Looking forward to trying this out. When you say 1 1/4 cup farro – is that cooked? Or are you measuring out 1 1/4 cup and cooking it? Thanks.

10 stars! My husband and I love the recipe. We discovered it about a month and a half ago and have made it about 5-6 already. It is so easy and is the perfect healthy meal to bring to a busy day at work. I’m so thankful we found this recipe, thank you again!
