Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Layer heaviest ingredients first (dressing, tomatoes, onion) and softest last (greens) to prevent the salad from becoming soggy throughout the week.
Mince garlic finely and whisk it thoroughly into the vinaigrette to ensure even flavor distribution without raw garlic chunks.
Use a quart-sized mason jar to fit all ingredients comfortably; pint jars will require ingredient scaling and layering adjustments.
Chill the assembled jar for at least 30 minutes before eating to allow flavors to meld and the vinaigrette to coat all vegetables evenly.

Substitutions

Red wine vinegar → balsamic vinegar (slightly sweeter, darker flavor)
Dijon mustard → whole grain mustard (more texture, earthier taste)
Cherry tomatoes → cucumber or bell peppers (for less liquid, add firmer vegetables)
Dried oregano → fresh oregano (use 1 tbsp fresh instead of 1 tsp dried for brighter flavor)
