Summary
Take the fiesta to-go with this mason jar taco salad. Not only are mason jar salads easy to assemble, but they’re also very pretty! Antioxidant-rich salsa, protein-packed beans, carotenoid-containing corn, fiber-loaded lettuce, and monounsaturated fat-filled avocado create a flavorful and oh so nutritious salad in a jar!
