Moroccan Mason Jar Salad

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Safeway. All opinions are 100% my own.

Make ahead 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.

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!

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. 

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?

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!
