| If you've ever prepped salads for the week only to end up with soggy lettuce and sad lunches… mason jar salads are about to change everything. They're one of my favorite ways to eat more veggies and protein during the week - especially when life gets busy. When layered the right way, mason jar salads stay fresh for days, travel well, and make healthy lunches completely grab-and-go. And when you build them with enough protein? They actually keep you full. 🥗 Why Mason Jar Salads Work So Well Mason jar salads aren't just cute - they're practical: - They stay fresh longer when layered correctly
- They're perfect for meal prep (3–5 days in the fridge)
- They make lunches easy to grab and go
- You can build a balanced, high-protein meal in one jar
The key is layering: dressing on the bottom, hearty ingredients next, and greens on top so nothing gets soggy. See my full tutorial here. Here are 5 high-protein mason jar salads to make this week, plus a few easy ways to boost protein in any salad. | | Protein Power Mason Jar Salad This one is built specifically to keep you full. It's loaded with protein-rich ingredients and hearty veggies, making it perfect for lunch when you don't want to be hungry an hour later. |
| | Greek Chicken Mason Jar Salad Juicy chicken, crisp veggies, and bold Greek flavors make this one a favorite. It's fresh, filling, and holds up beautifully for meal prep. |
| | Steak Mason Jar Salad If salads never feel filling enough, this one changes that. Steak adds serious staying power and turns a salad into a satisfying, protein-packed meal. |
| | Southwest Chicken Mason Jar Salad Bold flavors, protein-rich chicken, and hearty ingredients make this a great option when you want something filling and flavorful for lunch. |
| | California Mason Jar Salad This salad combines lean turkey with chickpeas for a double protein boost. It's a great option when you want variety beyond chicken every day. |
Easy Ways to Add More Protein to Any Salad If you want your salads to actually keep you full, protein is key. Here are some easy add-ins: - Grilled or rotisserie chicken
- Steak, turkey, or lean ground meat
- Hard-boiled eggs (if you enjoy them!)
- Beans or chickpeas
- Cheese like feta or shredded mozzarella
- Greek yogurt–based dressings
A good rule of thumb: if it doesn't have a clear protein source, it probably won't hold you over for long. Mason jar salads make eating healthier feel effortless - especially when they're high in protein, prepped ahead, and ready when you are.
