The idea seems simple. Take a jar and start composing layers. There are some reasonable rules to follow, though. Our students learned during the workshops how to make healthy and colourful salads in the jar. They started from brainstorming for products representing different food groups, such as grains, diary, meat, fruit, vegetables and fat. Afterwards, after watching some recipes they managed to establish a pattern for tasty, not soggy jar salad. The rules they set up are the following: http://Healthy salads – presentation
- the home made dressing goes to the bottom
- the heaviest products, containing proteins, such as meat or legumes over the dressing
- lighter bits, such as chopped veggies,
- some seeds or nuts as they contain vitamins and proteins
- light green leaves, like rocket, spinach, lettuce.
Next the students designed their own salads, wrote the recipes and they drew them or created recipes using technological tools.
