How To Make Vegan mason Jar Greek Salad
This Vegan Mason Jar Greek Salad has become one of my summer time favorites. It is so nice and easy to grab a cold salad already made and pour it in a bowl. All of us know how long it takes to make and eat a salad. Being healthy is work and time. So why not be efficient!
The trick to this salad is making sure all the crispy large veggies and tomatoes stay at the bottom like the cucumbers, onions. This way the salad dressing doesn’t get everything very mushy. These vegetables can withstand marinating in the dressing for days and still taste delicious. Please leave the lettuce on the top. It stays nice and fresh. Just do not put your vegan cheese and vegan protein in the dressing at the bottom first because it will change the texture and taste. That would leave this wonderful salad to be a disappoint and I wouldn’t want you to do that since it is so good.
You can use whatever kind of vegan protein for this recipe. I find Beyond Beef to work really well. I just fry it up into little pieces. I cook it without oil because it doesn’t need it and I use some Montreal Steak Seasoning, it has so much flavor.
Before serving just shake the bottom a little to mix up the dressing and pour into a large bowl. Depending on how much you packed it, it can be a single serving for one or a side salad for two. I will be making more of these quick and easy mason jar salads so stay tuned. I hope you love this salad as much as we do. Enjoy!
