Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup Balsamic Dressing I like Newman's Brand.
  • 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes halved
  • 4 cups Baby Spinach
  • 1 cup Cucumber
  • 1 cup Feta Cheese Crumbled
  • 1 cup Chickpeas Drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup Rotini Pasta Cooked according to package instructions
  • 1/2 cup Toasted Pine Nuts Can sub in nut of your choice or omit.
  • 4 16 ounce Wide mouth Mason Jars

Instructions

  • Toast your nuts in a dry skillet over Medium heat. Make sure to watch them as they can burn fast.
  • You are going to evenly distribute the ingredients over the 4 jars. Order is very important as you don't want to layer the greens on the dressing or tomatoes. These salads keep well due to the layering process.
  • Layer items in the following order.  Ingredients are in order from the bottom up: dressing, pasta, tomato, cucumber, chickpeas, feta, nuts then spinach.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, dump it onto a plate and enjoy!
