Romaine Lettuce and Chickpea Mason Jar Salad

Face it. No one is really excited for Monday mornings. Unless Christmas fell on a Monday, I am always looking for reasons to wake up on a Monday morning.

Unfortunately, I do not have the answer to Monday morning blues in this post, but I do have something to make your day a little better.

Behold! The salad in a mason jar!

I have been meaning to do this for years now. But a few months ago, by some weird delivery error, I received four 12 pack flats of mason jars instead of the four single mason jars that I ordered. I have mason jars coming out of my ears! I need to find ways to use them! Apart from putting smoothies in them.

(All ideas you can think of would be much appreciated!)

But this salad will probably be a “thing” from now on. As in, every Sunday evening, I will make my lunch for the week. Make ahead salads in Mason jars. This way, I can have 5 jars all ready to go, so on Monday mornings, I can have a glorious sleep in.

Now that is definitely an improvement to the start of the week!
