     I make salads for the week in jars without a pump/vacuum, AND with the dressing inside. Few tablespoons of dressing on the very bottom, layer of a sturdy veggie, like bell peppers (they don't get soggy), then your other veggies, greens on top. I use cherry tomatoes or diced tomatoes on side. Easy! - 9/20/13

     I make these salads every week. The onion gets really strong if you put it in the jars. I just cut up some onions and add them when I eat the salad. Also I only use cherry tomatoes because the chopped tomatoes kinda go limp. I hope this helps. - 9/20/13

     For a little variety I like to chop up some deli ham or turkey and throw that in on the day that I plan on eating the salad too. Adds a little more protein that way as well, without increasing the calorie count too much. - 9/20/13

     A great idea! I detest messing up the kitchen grating etcetera, so now, instead of doing it every day: make up a stock-pile - stack up a few days' jars and into the fridge - looks appetising and tidy too. And on the go does not have to feel like back to school! Love your recipes - very inspiring - 9/20/13

     Where can I buy these adorable and useful jars? - 9/20/13

     I found this idea on Pinterest last summer and tried it. I made 7 of them exactly as described below. Each and every one, down to the 7th jar, remained crisp and fresh. The dressing on the bottom is the key, and putting the bell pepper on top of that, and cherry tomatoes. Just shake and enjoy! - 3/26/15

     I have used this technique often when taking salad to work. The greens get wilted when you put dressing over it or you have to take it separate. Using this technique layer the dressing, then the heavy toppings on bottowm and salad greens on top. Shake upside down and it stays crisp.

     Sorry, I cannot see why a glass jar for something that I'd presumably be transporting to work, or whatever. Tupperware or some other food box is more practical. You can still do the layering, if you want to be cheffy! I'd rather have a practical box, and my dressing in a wee packet to go with it. - 9/20/13

     This is "okay" but if you take it a step further, use wide mouth mason jars and a food sealer (and it needed be the $100 expensive one, can be done with the hand pump) you can make multiple salads, enough for a week even. Create your salads minus the dressing, vacuum seal, and refrigerate. - 9/20/13

     for the one who wonders why glass - there's a whole movement happening against using plastic. whether for health reasons or environmental reasons. if glass is not practical, then go for it. either way, if the dressing is at the bottom, not touching the lettuce, then it should be fine - 2/14/16

     I found plastic tops for two sizes of mason jars at Target and although you can't use them to can food, they're great for salad because they don't rust. - 9/20/13

     I had to leave out the onion (allergies) but left everything else the same. Delicious. - 9/20/13

     I am so glad I am not alone! This kind of salad is a staple in my food. I would write "in my diet", but I do not diet, I guess try to eat as healthy as possible. Good stuff, Maynard! - 9/20/13

     The jars can be purchased in the canning section of most grocery stores or fleet farm-type stores. - 9/20/13

     In looking at the calorie breakdown by ingredients, I see onion listed. However, I do not see it listed in the above printed recipe. It does look like there may be a bit of diced onion in the photo on very top....does seem like it would add good additional flavor. - 9/20/13

     I substituted mushrooms and bell peppers for the corn. - 5/10/21
