Salads in a jar. Here is a link to 30 of them!! We had a quickly made dinner with DD last

week and one thing she already had made was a delicious kale salad in a jar.
To me, for your project, having a salad ready would REALLY fill a big hole.
Other salads to make ahead are a pea salad or bean salad or slaw. And I think it is still here in T&T--Acropolis salaad. It has you mix the topping for a Greek salad (which you can have on hand in fridge) and then put it together with the lettuce when serving. It is delicious.

I totally agree about ready-made salads! Great suggestion, Charley!

Crap! Glitch ate my message about Mason Jar Meals. Will rebuild. Waaaah! Colleen

Salmon patties are good to have in the freezer for quick sandwich dinner or with rice etc.

Good use of cooked leftover salmon.
