Chef notes
This portable salad is perfect for a healthy meal to eat when you're on the go. It's layered with crisp veggies, fresh herbs, rice noodles and a flavorful dressing.
Preparation
For the dressing:
Place all of the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and whisk together.
For the salad:
Take your four Mason jars and divide the dressing evenly between the jars followed by the cabbage, noodles, shrimp, scallions, carrots, pepper, tomatoes, fresh herbs, lettuce and sesame seeds, layered in that order to prevent sogginess.
Place the lids on each jar and store in the refrigerator until ready to eat. Make sure you keep the jar up right so that the dressing doesn't get to the rest of the salad ingredients.
When you're ready to eat, shake the jar vigorously to evenly distribute the salad dressing. Then enjoy!
