Veggie Salad in Jars

One of our all time family favorite meals is pasta salad.

So I bet you are wondering, why I am showing you a bowl full of just veggies?
Where is the pasta???

Well, it turns out that our pasta salad WITHOUT the pasta is really good too.

We made this salad about a month ago.
You know, when the diet thing was still going strong,
and we were being all good and cutting out as many carbs as we could.
Maybe I should have stuck with that longer:-)

We really liked eating a big bowl full of veggies this way,
so it has happened a few more times since then.
Fresh and delicious is always a good way to go for dinner.

Although my oldest did say he missed the noodles,
and the two youngest were grossed out by the fact that I put mushrooms in it:-)

Fast and easy side dish for any and all picnics or BBQ’s you still have going on this year.
It is so easy to change out the veggies and make it your own too.
Your family will love it!!!

  1. I love a big bowl of veggies, this looks yummy! Totally deserve dessert after eating that!

  2. This looks wonderful to me! Veggies rock!

  3. how cute – and even if a family wasn’t ‘into’ eating their veggies, these cute little jars can only help!

  4. 1. That salad is beautiful! 2. The jars are genius!

  5. Love the idea of serving them in portion-control jars! Cute and effective, since I could easily polish off the whole bowl. I love all the colors + variety… I want some!

  6. Looks yummy and I love how you display it too!

  7. I don’t think veggies need portion controlling, but eating out of jars is pretty trendy on blogs these days.
