This simple salad is a great go-to for easy weekday lunches, and completely customizable to flavours and textures that you enjoy.
Introduction

In a way, the original 7-layer salad was the very first “meal in a jar,” before meals in jars were popular. Nevertheless, the trifle-style assembly of yore is much fussier than I can imagine packing up for a modern weekday lunch, so I’ve simplified things, even though I’ve added 2 extra layers. I’ve chosen the vegetables here for their diverse yet complementary tastes, textures, and colors, and for their long-lasting physical structure—all important to make this meal multi-note, as opposed to one. But use any mixture of sweet/bitter/crispy/creamy produce you enjoy.
