Summer is here and there is fresh produce finally to be found at every market! The best way to make sure you use all your produce before it goes bad, is in a salad. Ideally, bring a salad to work in a mason jar where you can layer each ingredient along with the dressing. Tired of the typical Ceasar or garden salad? No problem. We have a list of beautiful and colorful salads that will fill your belly and give you tons of energy to get through the afternoon at work.

1. Southwest Zucchini Noodle Mason Jar Salad with Avocado Dressing

Lettuce can get a little boring, so instead, try spiralizing some zucchini! It has a great texture and stays fresh all day. The avocado dressing is the perfect savoury finish to this fresh salad with some chicken, beans and tomato.
