5 star salad in a jar is office lunch recipe from 5starcookies

You just made the best healthy, happy office lunch for your Monday or any day of the week.

Yes, you made 5 star Salad in a Jar.

Be kind and share.

IMPORTANT FOR THIS RECIPE:

Chose firm veggies at the bottom of jar that wan’t soak up the dressing. (carrots, cherry tomatoes, kale, celery, chickpeas…)

Pack the layers as tightly as possible. Why?

Because the salad will stay longer fresh if there is less air between layers.

Finish it off with salad greens. (Romaine lettuce, spinach, baby arugula…)

By topping with greens you will create moisture barrier that prevent entire salad becoming saggy.

If you are including cheese or nuts add them last.

In case you want to use hard boiled eggs, tuna or other delicate ingredients, please add them

Kathie Lee Gifford left my favorite drinking show “Live with Kathie Lee and Hoda”.

Her last show was on Friday, April 5 of 2019. and included cruise trips for the audience, singing with

Barry Manilow and much, much more.

She ended the show, with quote from the Bible, Jeremiah 29:

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you

hope and a future.”…

And with that I would like to say:

THE BEST CABBAGE ROLLS

**********************************************************

Ingredients

1 head sour cabbage (3 lbs or more)

350 gr ground beef

350 gr ground pork

1/2 cup brown rice

1 chopped large onion

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp ground black pepper

can of crushed tomatoes (28 oz)

INSTRUCTIONS

Remove and separate cabbage leaves from head.

Cut the thick root on the back of the each leaf because of the easier folding.

Then, wash them in cold water or follow the notice below. (Please do not skip this step.)

Very Important: Immerse all cabbage leaves in cold water for 1/2 hour or longer because you need to wash off the salt so cabbage rolls are not too salty.

**Immerse all cabbage leaves in cold water**

FILLING

Mix thoroughly pork and beef ground meat, 1/2 cup brown rice, 1 chopped large onion, 1/2 tsp salt and 1 tsp ground black pepper.

Take one by one cabbage leaf and on each put the meat filling (about 1 TBSP) and roll cabbage rolls and place them in suitable cooking pot.

Practice making the cabbage rolls

Hold one cabbage leaf in your left hand and place a meat filling near stem end.

Fold stem over the meat filling

Fold the two sides to the middle

Roll up.Use your finger to tuck the open side of the leaf inside.

Place in a large pot and say “thank you” to your cabbage rolls.

When your dish is full of cosily placed rolls pour water over all, so the cabbage rolls sinks.

At the beginning cook on a high temperature until water boils.

Then continue cooking at medium temperature for 3 hours.

After 3 hours add can of crushed tomatoes (28 oz) and 1 TBSP of salt. (you can add less or more salt, taste to your liking).

Continue cooking for another 15 min…and then it is ready for you and your family.
