Suggestion for Lids:

I like using the plastic lids for the salad-in-a-jar instead of the regular canning lids. Click here to see what I am talking about. Often times you can find these at Walmart. Putting your name on your lids ahead of time will be helpful. I use masking tape and either an ink pen or a Sharpie.
