Idea Taken from Hallelujah Acres
When
you come home from work the last thing you want to do is chop up a bunch of
veggies for a salad. We feel the same way, which is why we invented “The Salad Box.”
The
salad box is a simple concept we created so that we could have pre-cleaned,
pre-cut veggies ready to go whenever we wanted – and it’s all in one handy box
that fits in our refrigerator. It brings the convenience of a salad bar into
your own home! You know everything is fresh and cleaned… because you did it!
All
you have to do is get a large, clear, plastic under-the-bed style storage box
and several smaller boxes to fit inside. All your veggies will fit into the
smaller boxes, one type of veggie per box. Put them all in the larger box and
you have a mini salad bar ready to go in your own refrigerator.
We
searched high and low for boxes that would fit inside an average refrigerator.
The best, large box can be found at Target stores, and the little boxes that go
inside are available at Walmart.
Here’s
how it works. Simply buy 4-5 days’ worth of veggies, seeds, nuts, water
chestnuts or anything you’d normally put in salads, stir frys, or pita wraps.
Designate an hour on one evening to wash and prepare all the ingredients and
put them in the smaller boxes within the large salad box and you’ll have
everything ready to go whenever you wish for several days and even up to an
entire week!
The
salad box saves a lot of time and makes dinner prep a lot less stressful. Watch
part 1 and part 2 of our salad box videos for all the
details!
