What to Serve with this Ultimate Garden Salad Recipe
Fresh garden vegetables are the best for your garden salad recipes because they have a chance to fully ripen on the vine. If you’ve ever picked a tomato from the garden just before eating it, you know there is a huge difference in flavor from the ones in the grocery store. As a result, you also know that fresh garden veggies can spoil quickly. Below are some tips for keeping them fresh until time to prepare your salads or use within any meal.
Keep most vegetables in their whole form as long as possible
Refrigerate only after produce has been cut or prepared for use in recipes or snacks
Use paper towels or a kitchen towel at the bottom of a storage container to help keep fresh lettuce and greens crisp longer
Submerge chopped carrots and celery in cool water to refrigerate and make last longer for snacking
Wrap herbs in a slightly damp paper towel to help keep fresh longer

How to Keep Your Garden Salad Crisp When Packing for Lunch
One of the biggest struggles with eating healthy is making easy meals. I love salads for lunches, but know that it can be tough to keep them fresh if you prep them ahead of time. This recipe is a great lunch option when you add a small portion of lean protein like tuna or grilled chicken to the top. Since this is so delicious,I wanted to share with you some of the best ways to make those salads for a week at a time and not have soggy greens when it’s time to eat.
Create salads in a jar. Put dressing on the bottom of a jar and then add your toppings with greens being added last to keep things crisp. Just pour onto a plate when ready to eat, and toss with your fork to coat with dressing.
Wash and prep greens for salads, but wrap them in paper towels within your storage container and keep them separate from your chopped vegetable toppings. Store your toppings separately and assemble at meal time.
Combine oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, salt and pepper together by whisking with a fork. Set aside.
Prepare all the veggies and feta cheese for the salad.
Place leafy greens on the bottom, top it off with the rest of the ingredients.
Drizzle the dressing right before serving the salad and toss everything together. You can sprinkle some extra feta on top. It’s best served right away.
