make ahead salads

Come on, admit it guys, these are basically the cutest Salads To Go you’ve ever seen in your whole life! Last year we made a recipe where we put our salads in plastic tumblers, which was great because it’s always nice to prep your lunch in advance. But then we thought what if you’re having a party? Or going to a picnic? What if you want to take a salads to go but can’t wash dishes later? Our answer was recyclable plastic cups and forks and a great recipe for kale and chicken salad. Consider our salads to go as the next great addition to your summer diet!
