Wedge Salad in a Jar

Recipe Description

I like to call this Wedge Salad in a Jar, the almost everything salad because it has almost everything good in 1 jar. Layers of different ingredients that work together in the best ensemble. Ranch or blue cheese dressing, topped with cherry tomato halves then diced red onion, then sliced green onion followed by crumbled blue cheese then crispy bacon slices and finally, chopped lettuce. Looks stunning in a jar, but enjoyed best when eaten out of a bowl!
