💡 Pro Tips for Make Ahead Salad Success:

• Keep dressing separate until ready to eat, or line the bottom of your mason jar/salad container with it.
• Store avocados and soft fruit separately to avoid browning.
• Prep grains and proteins in batches - switch up the toppings to keep it fresh.
• Label your fridge containers with names like “Berry Chicken Bliss” to make your salads feel like a treat, not a chore.
