  • ⅓ cup corn (fresh, canned, or frozen and thawed)
  • 6 oz soy taco (cooked soy crumbles seasoned with taco spices)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Ingredients:
    • Begin by steaming the beets until tender, then dice them once they're cool.
    • Cook the soy taco according to package instructions, seasoning it with taco spices for that extra kick.
    • Rinse and drain the bean medley if using canned beans.
  2. Assemble the Salads:
    • Start with the dressing: Pour 2 tablespoons of salad dressing into the bottom of each jar. This step is optional but recommended as it adds a flavorful base to your salad.
    • Add the heavier, non-absorbent ingredients first to keep the salad crisp. Layer the diced steamed beets, corn, soy taco, and bean medley directly above the dressing.
    • Follow with lighter ingredients: Add the diced tomatoes and then the chopped lettuce. These lighter ingredients will stay crisp on top, away from the dressing.
    • Finish with the diced avocado and optional chives on the very top to keep them fresh and green.
  3. Seal and Store:
    • Tightly seal each jar and refrigerate. These salads can be prepared up to 4 days in advance and stay fresh as long as the lid is sealed properly.
  4. Serving:
    • When ready to eat, simply shake the jar to mix the dressing with the rest of the ingredients. Pour it into a bowl, or eat straight from the jar if you're on the go.

This Vegetarian Salad in a Jar is not only a feast for the eyes but also a nourishing, complete meal that’s perfect for busy lifestyles.
