Introducing the Grinder Jar Salad, a great way to enjoy your greens! This tasty salad is packed with flavor and nutrition, all layered in a jar for a fun and portable meal option. Start with a bed of crisp romaine, sprinkle in your favorite grinder inspired veggies, add a sprinkle of protein-packed chickpeas, and finish with a delightful pesto vinaigrette dressing to tie it all together.

When it's time to dig in, simply give the jar a good shake to combine the layers into a deliciously fresh salad. Perfect for lunches on the go or a light dinner, this Grinder Jar Salad is not only guilt-free but also a feast for the eyes and taste buds. Get ready to jazz up your salad game like never before!

This salad is great to have meal prepped and ready to go for the week. The pesto vinaigrette is a must here, but a lot of the other stuff can be easily swapped for other faves. I used a deli sliced turkey as the meat, but you could definitely go with a salami which would be more traditional to a grinder but also have more calories.
