We know the fall is crazy busy. From kids and college students heading back to school to work picking back up after slow summers. That’s why we grabbed these 3 on the go salad recipes from Jennie Miremadi! The nutritionist, who has shared healthy recipes with us before, created these salads in a jar so that they are easy to grab and go. Perfect, right? We think so! These healthy, nutrient rich, salad recipes are easily making their way into our weekly rotation. We will be itching for lunchtime when these yummy meals are in our bag.
