Wheat Berry Fruit Jar Salads

 Shonna just keeps coming up with great ideas for these Jar Salads.  She is so inventive and creative.  This one sounds delicious.  Make them one day each week, store them in the fridge, and eat one each day for a week of delicious, healthy lunches. 

Wheat Berry Fruit Jar Salads

Layer in each of 7 quart Mason jars:

Bottom Layer: 1/4 cup cauliflower rice

2L: 1/2 cup wheat berries

3L: 1/2 apple, diced

4L: 1/3 orange, leave in a big chunk and cut up when you eat

5L: Apple juice sweetened craisins ( a handful)

Greens:  Top with spinach to fill the jar- 1 1/2 - 2 cups

Toppings when served: toasted pecans and crumbled feta cheese

Dressing (times this by 3 or 4 for 7 salads)

3 T. extra virgin olive oil

3 T. honey

1 T. apple cider vinegar

1 T. freshly squeezed lemon

1/8 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper

OR

Honey Mustard Vinaigrette

4 heaping T Dijon

6 T honey or agave

3/4 cup orange juice

zest from 1 orange

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

Blend all in a blender, then slowly stream in 1/2 cup olive oil.

Salt and pepper

Or you can just make a big salad and the dressing and serve it to your family.  Michelle did a combination of those ideas.  She served it to her family, then stored the rest in the fridge.  She said this salad was absolutely delicious.  Everyone liked it.  She made the top dressing (above) and loved it.

Plastic containers work too.
