"Man Salad" in a Jar

Convinced my husband to eat healthier by making this easy to grab and eat on the go salad with his favorite toppings aka a good amount of bacon.

He discovered that instead of picking up junk food at a gas station or hitting up a fast food drive thru, this salad gives him more energy and makes him feel better. I even threw in some jicama due to it's health benefits!

If you want to get your man on board, I recommend surprising him with a manly lunchbox and he'll be proud to show off his new healthy routine at work!
