In an effort to keep things clean, simple, and quick I have been making up my own salads as I go this year so far. The new year starts off with resetting, goal setting, purging, and things of the sort for a lot of people. It is definitely a great time to begin anew and I support that mentality 100%. In an effort to eat cleaner and control my portions I recently came across these 10 oz. Seal Tight Glass Bowls from W&P while shopping at the Container Store. The very first recipe I decided to come up with for lunch prep for these on my first week back to school was these Mediterranean Salad lunch bowls. It was easy to make with some prep ahead to the prep itself and it is so delicious that you’ll definitely be scraping your bowl at lunch time.
I have recycled some mini Bonne Maman bottles that I got at our hotel during our DC trip back in September of 2023 for the olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette dressing. It’s easy to transport, also glass, has a tight seal, and you save your salad from getting soggy by pouring the dressing over when you’re ready to eat.
