Inspired by a gifted recipe book called Mason Jar Salads by Julia Mirabella.
We were having a potluck party, so I felt inspired to make a few that would work around different allergies (hazelnuts and pecans) and what I had on hand.
At the base of the jar, I used two of my favorite Kraft dressings: Asian sesame and Berry Balsamic.
Next, I was recommended to layer things that wouldn't soak up too much of the dressing. I choose carrots and peas, or carrots and corn. Next I used my favorite dried fruit and nut combinations: cranberries and hazelnuts, strawberries and sunflower seeds (nutless), and strawberries and pecan. Finally, I topped the lot with baby spinach and arugula (roquette here in lower Canada) and some feta. These were hearty meal size salads, and no one complained, even when we had to mix it after emptying out on the plate.
