Mason jar salads are my jam because they can be made ahead of time and are just as fresh as when they were made – even five days after. I’m turning the classic antipasto Italian salad into a meal prep staple. You’re going to love this antipasto Italian mason jar salad.
The key to a successful mason jar salad is in the layering. Dressing always on the bottom, fillings always in the middle and lettuce always goes on the top. You never want the lettuce to be touching the dressing. That’s what makes for a soggy leftover salad.

A traditional antipasto salad is loaded with all of the Italian meats and cheeses. In true simply swapped fashion, I’m switching these foods out for even more fiber-rich vegetables and protein-packed garbanzo beans.
Here are the traditional components that we are keeping in this antipasto mason jar salad:
- Olives – full of heart-healthy fats, antioxidants and vitamin E
- Pepperoncini – a great way to spice up the salad
- Artichoke hearts – full of dietary fiber to boost gut health
- viger-based vinaigrette – made with heart-healthy olive oil, vinegar-based vinaigrettes are usually going to be healthier than creamy
The nutritious ingredients we are adding to this mason jar salad are:
- Garbanzo beans for a dose of protein and fiber
- Fresh veggies including grape tomatoes and cucumber slices
- Roasted red peppers for a boost in vitamin C

I would call it a super salad! I believe that the main factor of a delicious salad should be fresh ingredients, and then the salad will automatically be first-class. And not long ago I discovered a burger place https://www.smashhouseburgers.com/locations/new-york/5-towns-ny/ that has very tasty salads. So if you need a quick and tasty snack, welcome.
