Over the last month mason jar salads have become my go to lunch. I love them! Using mason jar salads, as opposed to plastic containers, keeps the salad ingredients incredibly fresh throughout the week and makes transporting my lunch very convenient.
Although perfect for summer, this refreshing salad is a favorite year-round for our family and friends. Poppy seeds and pecans add a pleasing crunch to the mix.
Thinly sliced garlic is a simple way to jazz up plain old spinach. With just a touch of butter and a quick stir, you'll have a vegetable side dish that tastes great and pairs with just about anything!
These spinach-stuffed rolls are a great way to get my son to eat his vegetables! I experimented with the recipe after testing similar bundles years ago. --Susan James, Manhattan, Kansas
