Balsamic dressing, grape tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, whole grain pasta and baby spinach layered in five jars.

Ingredients

10 tbsp balsamic vinegar dressing
1 quart grape tomato
10 oz fresh mozzarella cheese
2 cup whole grain pasta cooked

5 mason jars

Directions

Share the ingredients evenly among the 5 jars, layering from the bottom up: dressing, tomatoes, mozzarella, pasta, spinach.
Close each jar firmly with its lid.
When you are ready to eat, shake the jar so the dressing coats the salad, then pour it into a bowl.

Keep refrigerated at 40°F (4°C) or below.
Make-ahead salads last 5-7 days in the refrigerator. Dressing is store-bought.
