How To
The key to any good Jar Meal is to layer the hardier ingredients on the bottom and work your way up, always ending with the lettuce and anything else that wilts easy. Using an airtight glass jar is a must and will keep your meal fresh for days until you are ready to crack that seal and munch.
Make your tuna salad. Chop and slice all your ingredients. Grab your 2 qt glass jars and layer from bottom to top:
Tuna
Cucumber
Olives
Red Onion
Celery
Avocado
Lettuce
Sprouts
Parsley
Nuts
Crackers (add to jar before packing your meal to go, they wont stay crisp more than a day)
PRO tips: You can sub any lettuce here, use what you have on hand. Same with the raw nuts, raw pecans would be delish. Olives, same. You get the idea.
