6. So you've got a jar of vacuum-sealed lettuce

I've made a salad in a jar to take to work with me--not vacuum sealed and a complete salad, not a jar of lettuce.

Put the dressing in the bottom of the jar. Add your proteins like tuna or chicken. Then add firm veggies that benefit from marinating: carrots, radishes, green onions, etc. Top off with lettuce. Keep upright in transport and at lunchtime just dump it out onto a plate for an instant, complete salad.
