You may not be able to resist the impulse to capture this one on IG... and we wouldn't blame you! It's no accident that colorful plates are especially pleasing to the eye. The colors serve a nutritional purpose. We always hear the mantra “eat a rainbow” because vegetables from each color and get a variety of important vitamins and nutrients that can nourish your body in different ways and even prevent disease.
Better yet, the ingredients can be customized to suit your mood or take advantage of whatever you happen to have on hand in the fridge. The key to this recipe is how you assemble it in the jar. Take note of the sequence of how to layer so that your jars will stay fresh (and not soggy) in the fridge.
