With layers of fruit, veggies, grains and proteins, salad-in-a-jar recipes are the perfect option for quick and easy packed lunches.\u00a0 All you need is a jar, some basic knife skills and a few creative salad dressings for a clever and sophisticated salad you can actually look forward to.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the <a href=\"http:\/\/foxeslovelemons.com\/asian-noodle-salad-jars\/\" target=\"_blank\">Asian Noodle Salad<\/a>, which is just one of 8 of these fun recipes.\u00a0 For a tasty change from the plain old chopped lettuce salad, this recipe draws its inspiration from Asian cuisine. Soba noodles, also known as buckwheat noodles, are a great gluten-free option (though make sure to use gluten-free soy sauce and skip the crunchy rice noodle topping if gluten is a no-no in your diet). The homemade dressing uses peanut butter as an emulsifier, which allows the oil and vinegar to come together more harmoniously. That also means you won\u2019t need to shake or mix it.<\/p>\n<p>Promoting healthy eating, fitness and a healthy lifestyle is a main focus at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nchealthplans.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina<\/a>.
