These look delicious! I can’t wait to try them! I am always looking for ways to get more greens into my diet and this looks like a wonderful way to do so! Thanks for sharing!

I love leftovers salad! I started doing this shortly after I had my second baby back in March because I probably wouldn’t have time to eat otherwise!
Every Sunday after our local farmer’s market visit I would put the kids down for a nap and get down to making my “base salads” in mason jars. These were typically tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, red onion (or shallots), bell peppers, zucchini and topped with a salad mix and a wedge of lemon. I like my veggies all chopped very fine like down to the size of a corn kernel. While chopping I would cook up a grain and/or protein like quinoa, beans, barley, etc. and store in another container in the fridge. I usually made about 5 pint jars of salad and everyday I would eat it for lunch topped with beans and/or grains. Sometimes I would add salsa & tortilla chips or hummus & matzo crackers or any leftovers sitting around. Possibilities: endless. Just dump the ingredients in a giant bowl or plate and lunch was ready!
After my maternity leave I have continued this tradition for taking my lunch to work. It has saved me from having to buy lunch which usually left me feeling sleepy afterwards anyway.
Power to the salad!

I love leftover bowls, but I use rice, quinoa or steamed kale; for some reason I never thought of putting hot leftovers over cold greens. For lunch today I threw hot channa masala over lettuce and topped it with half an avocado: best. thing. ever. Thanks for the tip!

A giant salad bowl that’s bigger than your head is a definite must-have. I collect them! =D
