Ingredients | Salad In A Jar 101

1 (9 ounce) package spinach and cheese tortellini (such as Three Bridges® Tortellini)

1 (4 ounce) jar pesto (such as Three Bridges® Pesto)

¼ cup halved, seeded, and sliced English cucumber

¼ cup halved cherry tomatoes

¼ cup matchstick-sized pieces red onion

½ cup chopped mache (lamb's lettuce)

1 canning jar

salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook tortellini in the boiling water until they float to the top, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain water. Place in the refrigerator to cool, about 15 minutes.

Layer pesto, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, tortellini, and mache into the canning jar; season with salt and pepper.

Romaine lettuce can be substituted for the mache.

The tortellini can be made ahead of time.

Ideally the heartier and heavier ingredients are layered on the bottom and the more delicate lighter ingredients are on the top.
