How to Pack a Salad in a Kilner® Food on the Go Jar

Quick answer

Layer wet ingredients at the bottom, then add grains or protein, and keep greens and dressing separate until serving. The Kilner® Food on the Go Jar 1 Litre is ideal for this because its wide mouth makes layering easy and its glass walls keep everything visible.

How to layer your salad jar

1. 1. Start with dressing at the bottom: Pour your dressing into the bottom of the jar first. This prevents it from soaking the greens above and lets you shake the jar right before eating. Common mistake: adding dressing on top makes the salad soggy before you eat it.
2. 2. Add hearty vegetables and protein: Layer chopped cucumbers, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, or cooked chicken on top of the dressing. These ingredients act as a barrier and won't wilt from brief contact with the liquid. Checkpoint: keep ingredients dry before adding to avoid pooling.
3. 3. Top with greens and seal: Fill the remaining space with leafy greens like spinach or lettuce. Screw on the stainless steel pot lid tightly. When you're ready to eat, shake the jar to distribute the dressing evenly. Common mistake: overfilling the jar makes it hard to shake the dressing through.
