This seven layer salad in a jar from Oh She Glows is a healthy lunch to take to work or bring to a potluck. Blogger Angela Liddon saw this salad at Whole Foods and was inspired to make the dish herself at home. Layers of whole grains (wheatberries and quinoa) are mixed with a variety of vegetables including carrots, edamame, and red and green bell pepper. A light and refreshing oil-free orange and ginger dressing brings the whole salad together. Seven layer salad in a jar is the perfect portable lunch for work or school.
