Before you jump to My Garden Fresh Mason Jar Salad recipe, you may want to read this short interesting healthy tips about Foods That Can Make Your Mood Better.

In general, people have been conditioned to believe that “comfort” foods are terrible for the body and need to be avoided. However, if your comfort food is candy or junk food this can be true. Other times, comfort foods can be very healthy and good for us to eat. There are several foods that, when you eat them, can boost your mood. If you feel a little bit down and you’re needing an emotional pick me up, try a number of these.

Make some trail mix of nuts or seeds. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etcetera are all good for raising your mood. This is because seeds and nuts have plenty of magnesium which increases your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical that dictates to your brain how you feel all the time. The more serotonin in your brain, the more pleasant you’ll feel. Not only that, nuts, particularly, are a fantastic protein source.

You can see, you don’t have to turn to junk food or foods that are bad for you so you can feel better! Try some of these instead!

We hope you got insight from reading it, now let’s go back to my garden fresh mason jar salad recipe. You can have my garden fresh mason jar salad using 14 ingredients and 4 steps. Here is how you cook it.

The ingredients needed to prepare My Garden Fresh Mason Jar Salad:
  1. Use your favorite dressing
  2. Prepare sliced grape tomatoes
  3. Prepare medium carrot, diced or julienned
  4. Get diced red onions
  5. Prepare sliced radishes
  6. Prepare brocoli florets (cut small)
  7. You need hard boiled egg, diced (optional)
  8. Prepare chicken breast, cooked, cooled and diced (optional)
  9. Provide cheese of choice (shredded, cubed or crumbled)
  10. You need shredded purple cabbage
  11. Take lettuce of choice (pictured is romaine)
  12. Use pepitas (optional)
  13. You need sunflower seeds (optional)
  14. Use wide mouthed quart sized mason jar with lid
Steps to make My Garden Fresh Mason Jar Salad:
  1. Start by placing your dressing in the bottom of the mason jar. Pictured is my homemade ranch, but a vinaigrette will spread easier when you go to eat. My favorite to use generally is my homemade honey mustard vinaigrette. Next come the veggies that can hold up to soaking in the dressing. Place in the tomatoes, carrots, onions, radishes and broccoli florets, in that order.
  2. Next, if you are using the diced, hard boiled egg or the diced chicken (or both) then place them in now.
  3. Next comes the cheese, cabbage and lettuce. You may need to pack the lettuce in gently. At the very top, place the pepitas and sunflower seeds (if using). You could also place croutons in instead.
  4. Place the lid on and refrigerate until you're ready to eat. Then, either shake it up and eat straight from the jar or dump everything into a bowl and toss around before eating.
