Mason jar salads with raw chopped vegetables, chickpeas, quinoa, herbs, and  a zesty Moroccan-inspired dressing. Perfect for meal prep!

Psst. 

Did I tell you that I’m writing a cookbook? 

If you’ve been following me on social media, you might have heard the news about my first book. 

Because the cookbook is meal prep inspired, I’ve been living the meal prep lifestyle here at home. 

This means reserving time on Sunday and stuffing lots of fresh food into Tupperware and mason jars. 

You might not equate the holiday season with meal prep, but honestly, it’s one of the times I crave stability the most. 

Amongst a string of holiday commitments and festive food, it’s easy to feel a bit frazzled and malnourished. 

So, it’s amazing to have a fresh meal from the fridge to balance things out between all of the happy chaos. 

These Moroccan Mason Jar Salads are so easy to prepare for a portable lunch that’s packed with raw vegetables, herbs, and a zesty Moroccan inspired dressing.

What You Need to Make Moroccan Mason Jar Salad

I’ve prepared a lot of things in mason jars before, but I’ve never thrown a salad into them. 

Until now. 

Here’s what you need to make this Moroccan Mason Jar Salad:

  • cauliflower
  • shredded carrots
  • garbanzo beans
  • green onions
  • cilantro
  • kalamata olives
  • Open Nature® slivered almonds
  • dried cranberries
  • cooked quinoa

That’s it!

You’re going to love the mix of vegetables, herbs, and olives that give this salad a delicious Mediterranean vibe. 

My favorite part are the slivered almonds and cranberries that add texture and sweetness!

What You Need to Make the Dressing

Next, mix up a zippy dressing with a tantalizing spice blend of cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cinnamon. 

You need:

  • O Organics® Organic Cumin
  • turmeric
  • O Organics® Organic Cinnamon
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • lemon juice
  • minced garlic 
  • Himalayan sea salt
  • Signature SELECTTM Ground Black Pepper

Blend it up quickly in a high-speed blender or food processor.

How to Make Moroccan Mason Jar Salad

Prepping these Moroccan Mason Jar Salads couldn’t be easier. 

Combine all of the dressing ingredients in a blender and mix on high until fully incorporated. 

Pour the dressing into the bottom of each mason jar then layer the salad ingredients to the top.

Refrigerate your mason jars until you’re ready to enjoy them. 

Here’s the trick for serving: tip the mason jars upside down and shake, then remove the lid and serve. 

The dressing will coat the salad ingredients nicely before chowing down!

Cool, right?

I buy my O Organics and Open Nature products at my local Safeway store, and you can also find them exclusively at the Albertsons Companies family of stores, including Albertsons, ACME Markets, Jewel-Osco, Vons, Pavilions, Randalls, Tom Thumb, Shaw’s, Star Market, United Supermarkets and Carrs/Safeway.

How to Serve Moroccan Mason Jar Salad

Enjoy this Moroccan Mason Jar Salad as an easy meal prep option for a healthy lunch. 

I love how this salad is packed with unique ingredients without your standard leafy green base. 

Each jar is packed with chickpea protein, whole grain quinoa, chopped vegetables, and healthy fats to keep you satiated all day.

I like to make several jars to enjoy for easy pre-made work week lunches.

Grab it, shake it, and serve it!

AND this salad isn’t just for meal prep. 

You can also mix up the ingredients in a large serving bowl tossed with the dressing and serve immediately. 

If you don’t have large mason jars, try using a Tupperware container for similar results. 

Enjoy!

#ad// {NEW!} When everything else feels hard, this #ad// {NEW!} When everything else feels hard, this Thai Carrot Sweet Potato Soup feels easy. 🥕🍠🥣 It also tastes amazing and every warm spoonful is like a comforting embrace. This Thai Carrot Sweet Potato Soup is made on the stovetop with root vegetables and yellow curry paste blended with a spoonful of nut butter. I used a standing blender but you can also use an immersion blender to achieve the creamiest consistency.

I love topping my soup with cilantro, @edenfoods Tamari Roasted Almonds, and @edenfoods Hot Pepper Sesame Oil. 

@edenfoods Tamari Roasted Almonds are infrared roasted organic almonds with complimentary organic tamari soy sauce. They’re a delicious snack packed with protein and fiber. You can enjoy them on their own, added to trail mix, on salads and bowls, or…on soup! 
 
@edenfoods Hot Pepper Sesame Oil is a delicious unrefined expeller pressed toasted sesame oil that is infused with hot red chili peppers. Friends, this stuff is HOT! Just a *drop* adds a big kick to your dressings, marinades, stir-fries, etc. If you have a wild side, add a drop or two to your soup bowl for a little extra heat! 

Feel free to add your favorites, like roasted chickpeas, green onion, and sesame seeds.
