How To Build An At-Home Salad Bar
When I bring my salad ingredients home, I wash them right away and build my at-home salad bar. It’s the best solution I’ve found to store leafy greens and other salad ingredients and make sure we actually eat them!
Yield: 8 salads
Equipment
- 1 large bowl
- 1 half sheet pan
- 1 ½ size plastic insert with lid
- 3 ⅙ size plastic inserts with lids
- 1 jar or squeeze bottle for dressing
- 3 jars or containers for dry toppings
Instructions
- Wash and dry your greens, tear or chop them into bite-sized pieces, and fill your ½ insert with them.
- Prepare your 3 “extras” and fill your ⅙ inserts with them.
- Make your "dressing of the week" and keep it somewhere handy like your fridge door.
- Fill your countertop containers with dry toppings (nuts, seeds, dried fruit)
- Carve out a section of real estate in your fridge for the salad station to live
- Grab your favourite bowl and assemble your dream salad!
