Mason\u2011jar salads gained popularity in the 2010s as office\u2011friendly lunches.

Protein\u2011rich chickpeas make the salad satisfying, while jarred artichoke hearts lend briny brightness. Cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and bell pepper add crunch, and a punchy lemon\u2011herb vinaigrette pools at the bottom so every shake coats the layers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
