1- Decide the order you want to add all of your ingredients. Usually, people like to add their sauce first.
2- Once you’ve started adding your ingredients, just make sure they’re all getting evenly layered in your jar, so even when mixed every bite you take will be just as flavorful as the next.
3- I love corn in my salad, especially with this tangy southwest chicken and ranch, it adds a bit of sweetness to the salad that gives it great flavor. Make sure you choose fruits and veggies that all work well together.
4- Last but not least goes the lettuce! It’s the main part that makes a salad, a salad. Once you add it to your jar, depending on how you like to eat it, you can dig in right then, or screw on the lid and save for later.
