Instructions

Layer Dressing and Veggies

Start by spooning some of the Greek dressing into the bottom of each jar. Next, add the halved tomatoes on top of the dressing. Scatter some Kalamata olives and a few slices of red onion over the tomatoes.

Layer Steak and Greens

Layer about 3 ounces of cooked steak over the onions, then pile on the romaine lettuce. Sprinkle a little feta cheese over the greens. Seal the jars tightly and pop them in the fridge until you're ready to eat.

Before serving, divide the croutons into small resealable bags so they stay crunchy and fresh. When it’s time to enjoy, just shake up the jar to mix everything together and add the croutons on top.
