Travel Tips

How does it travel?

This salad is easily portable. It can be made in a mason jar or other portable, sealed container. You’ll want to keep it slightly chilled, so keep it near an ice pack or in a fridge, if possible. This salad will need to be eaten with a fork, so it may be easier to eat on a layover or at a time when you can sit at a table or be hands free long enough to use a fork.

Need a few more calories or some crunch? Pack in some tortilla chips to use for dipping!

 

How do I package it?
