Ingredients

4 servings

10 fluid ounces Greek salad dressing 5 wide-mouth quart Mason jars 1 pint grape tomatoes, halved 1 ¼ cups pitted Kalamata olives 2 red onions, diced 15 ounces cooked steak, cut into bite-sized pieces 10 cups chopped romaine lettuce 1 ¼ cups crumbled feta cheese ¾ cup croutons (Optional)

Instructions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Then, layer about 3 ounces of cooked steak over the onions in each jar. Pile a couple of cups of chopped romaine lettuce on top of the steak, and sprinkle about a quarter cup of feta cheese over the greens. Seal the jars and pop them in the fridge until you’re ready to eat.

Step 3

Before serving, divide the croutons into small resealable bags so they stay crunchy. When you’re ready, just toss the croutons on top and enjoy!

Storage Tips

Store the jars in the refrigerator if not eating right away. Keep the dressing separate if possible and add it just before serving to maintain crispness. Consume within two days for the best taste and freshness.
