E Is for Easy Travel Salad


     I love salads. They are crisp and crunchy and a refreshing break to my work day. This salad has protein, some delicious raw veggies, and a simple salad dressing that gets better while it thinks about being your lunch. You can throw all the ingredients together the night before, then throw it into your lunchbox in the morning.

(Serves 1)
 
Ingredients:
2 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil
1/4 tsp. dried basil
1/4 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 tsp. dried marjoram
1/4 red bell pepper
1/4 cup matchstick carrots
3 oz. cooked chicken
1 cup lettuce
 
Directions:
1. In a canning jar, pour olive oil. Add basil, oregano, and marjoram.
 
2. Layer in pepper, carrots, chicken, and top with lettuce.
 
3. Place folded paper towel on top of lettuce to keep lettuce crisp.
 
4. Before eating, take out paper towel, replace lid, and shake well.
