newwhole30er Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Any ideas for salads that keep well for several days in the fridge? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted February 24, 2016 Moderators Share Posted February 24, 2016 Most of the ones in this post will -- although the Tricolore started getting pretty soggy faster -- I wouldn't plan on more than 2-3 days for it. Also check out all her other salad recipes, I'm sure there are others that would work for you, she has a ton, I just tend to favor the less lettuce-y ones.

Mistyfire Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Mason jar salads are amazing and can last 4 or even 5 days. Oil and vinegar dressing first then more solid vegs on the bottom, build up wih softer and even egg, Pack leafy greens on top. Google or check out Pinterest for some interesting veg combinations.

SpunkyBug Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I heartily second the mason jar salads. We make them on Sunday and eat them through Friday. We like to put Well Fed's Creamy Italian Dressing on the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted February 25, 2016 Administrators Share Posted February 25, 2016 I actually made this salad in a rubbermaid tote because it was SO huge. And it lasted over a week in the fridge and got better and better every day. The only thing I did about halfway through its existence was to add more dressing because it kind of dried out a bit.

Marjanill Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 That looks delicious, ladyshanny. Do you cook the beets first? Or use canned or? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodo Bird Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Here's one that I adore: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/aarti-sequeira/massaged-kale-salad-recipe.html It's kale, which is a bit hardier than lettuce, so it'll be fine sitting around in the fridge, dressing and all, for a few days. (think she even mentions that in the video) NOTES: You'll need to omit the honey/sub with fruit juice for it to be compliant. Also, the 1/4 cup of oil is total overkill - a Tbsp should do it. If you don't have mangoes or pepitas,or want cheaper alternatives, it's fantastic with pears or mandarins and toasted sliced almonds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted March 8, 2016 Moderators Share Posted March 8, 2016 I don't think a tablespoon of olive oil for a dressing that includes the juice of an entire lemon would taste very good... the reason it's a significant amount of oil is because you're making a vinegarette.... we're not scared of fat here so 1/4 cup of olive oil for to dress an entire salad doesn't seem all that outrageous....

I'm not afraid of fat, I just don't like salads swimming in oil (which is what frequently happens with this recipe if you use all that oil - lots of the review comments mention an excess of oil/dressing). Honestly, I don't bother measuring, so maybe the 1 Tbsp suggestion was off, but I know I don't add nearly a full 1/4 cup and it comes out nicely.
