Expert Tips

TO MAKE AHEAD FOR LUNCH AT WORK Keep your salad fresh by making it upside down! Add the dressing to the bottom of your salad container first. Then top with chicken, cheese, green onions, carrot, beans and lettuce. When you're ready to eat, keep the lid on the container, turn it over and shake it. Your salad will be freshly tossed and ready to enjoy. (Don't forget to pack a fork.)
