Someday\u2019s, I can easily convince myself that we\u2019re ready for baby number two. Seeing newborn photos flood my newsfeed just tugs at my ovaries. Realistically, it\u2019s not going to happen \u2013 intentional<\/em>, but if I had my way, I\u2019d have a huge family. I love kids and I love being a mom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I also love the flexibility of having just one and then still getting settled into my job. Still figuring it all out. I\u2019ll just have to get my fix elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n

I love this salad for many reasons, but one of them being it\u2019s so perfect for any kind of shower or party. It\u2019s beautiful, healthy, delicious and passes most, if not all allergy tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t have mason jars, this still looks delicious in salad bowl or layered in individual bowls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These also make for great (and convenient) lunches at the office. I\u2019ve done this a few times and what\u2019s awesome is you add the dressing, screw on the lid, give it a good shake and it\u2019s lunch. I know Aggie loves her salads and figured this would be appropriate for her special day.<\/p>\n\n\n

      Instructions
      <\/div> <\/h3>
      • If you want to set this up in a mason jar, I would suggest using a smaller, but wide jar. You don\u2019t want too tall & narrow or else it\u2019ll be hard to get the fork in. If you don\u2019t have a mason jars you can always layer this in a salad bowl. The other option is to have all the ingredients placed in separate bowls and have your guests build their own. You\u2019ve got options.<\/div><\/li>
      • One salad at a time, start with the spinach. Then layer a few spoonfuls of lentils and garbanzo beans. Stack slices of cucumber, and then add a handful of tomato halves. Top with fresh arugula.<\/div><\/li>
      • In case there are any dairy allergies, you can keep the cheese on the side. If not, add the parmesan and some ground pepper \u2013 ties all the ingredients together nicely.<\/div><\/li>
      • To make the dressing: In a small bowl, add garlic cloves, mustard, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice and mix together. Continue to whisk, while you pour in the olive oil. Season with salt + pepper.<\/div><\/li>
      • When you\u2019re ready, set out the mason jars (or salad bowl\/s) and dressing in a container and guests can help themselves.<\/div><\/li>
      • Serve and Enjoy!<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
