Step 2

I would make beans first, vegetables, grilled vegetables, protein, star and green on top. Anything that adds extra flavor or crunch (such as nuts/seeds, croutons), I would keep on the side in a small reusable bag or container, so that they do not get soggy in the mixture.
Step 3
Keep your outfit on the side. You can use a homemade dressing or your favorite choice that the store buys. I like Primal Kitchen, from whom we order Thrives the market. I have some tips below about salad sauces.

Tips for Mason Jar salad salad
Ah, no good salad is complete without the right dress. Mason Jar Salad Dressings is an extremely awesome and practical way to prepare fresh, tasty bandages in advance. Mason not only serves as a way to move and mix your ingredients, but also store and throw easy with minimal chaos. In addition, the compact size makes it very easy for you to make small batches that can be used all week. Whether you make a classic vinaigrette or creamy dressing, these tips will help you make the most of the Mason jar sauces.
Layer ingredients in the correct order.
When you make your outfit in a Mason jar, start by adding the thicker ingredients, such as mustard, honey or garlic at the bottom. Then you can lay the oils, vinegar and spices on top. This will facilitate the renovation and mixing of the dress together.
Shake, shake, shake!
After adding all your ingredients to the jar together, seal it tightly and give a good shake. The shaking ensures that oil and vinegar (or any other liquid) emulsifies and combine in a smooth, tasty dress. For best results, try to move for at least 20-30 seconds!
Let it sit before you use it.
Allowing the salad sauce to sit for about 10-15 minutes before using it helps the flavors come together and develop a more balanced taste. This resting time also helps solid ingredients such as herbs or garlic to enrich liquids.
Make some additional and save for later.
One of the great benefits of using a Mason jar is the ability to store your few days in the fridge! Just throw any remnants back into the jar, seal it and feel free to save it later. Shake again before each use to ensure that everything remains mixed and fresh. When you have finished time to eat good meals, preparing them in front of time can make your life easier.
