Integrative Oncology: Mason Jar Salads Demo
Join Sue Czap, MS, RD, CSO, CDN, Registered Dietitian at Wilmot Cancer Institute, and Holly Anderson, Executive Director/President of the Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester, to learn about making mason jar salads and homemade balsamic dressings.
Top tips:
- Use 1 qt (or 4 cup) glass jars for entrée salad or 2 cup jar for side salad
- Put dressing in the bottom, then add vegetables such as carrots, celery that won’t get soggy, then add leafy greens and other vegetables, then toppings such as cheese or nuts
- To keep nuts/croutons crispy, place in 2 oz small plastic dish last in the mason jar; cover with lid and screw cap
- For variety, use salad dressings with different flavor profiles; use seasonal vegetables/fruit; add a variety of legumes or other protein foods
- To minimize waste, use any leftover vegetables to make a soup or stir fry
Holly’s list of Suggested Salad Ingredients:
Assorted Greens: Romaine, Green Leaf, Spinach
Vegetables: Peppers (orange, red, yellow), yellow squash, zucchini, radishs, mushrooms, carrots, beets, purple onions, scallions
Cheese: goat, feta, cheddar, mozzarella
Nuts: Sunflower, pistachio, Patti's nuts, spiced nuts, wanuts

Makes 6 servings • Soy-free gluten free
Nut Free
1 teaspoon safflower or sunflower oil ,optional
2 cups (330 g) diced (1/2-inch [1.3 cm] or smaller) very ripe mango
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or 1 dried red chile, broken into pieces
1 small garlic clove, minced (1 teaspoon) 1/4 teaspoon salt

1 Pour the oil into the Instant Pot and swirl it around to coat the bottom of the pan(optional, some instant pots can scorch for recipes with less liquid, add 1/4 cup of water instead). Add the remaining ingredients, except for 1 tablespoon of the sugar, and mix well.
2 Lock the lid into place, set the Pressure Release Knob to Sealing, select the Pressure Cook/Manual setting at high pressure, and set the cook time to 7 minutes.
3 Once the cooking cycle is done, let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes, then carefully set the Pressure Release Knob from Sealing to Venting to release any remaining pressure. Open the lid.
4 Select the Sauté setting, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar, and cook until the mixture is thickened to your desired consistency. Taste, adjusting the vinegar or sugar, if needed. Select the Cancel setting.
5 Let cool, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Dump & Done Spinach Rice & Chickpeas
This simple one-pot meal is a dump-and-done, recipe. Rinse the rice, add vegetables, spices, and any beans you want. Mix it all up and pressure cook, and you get a flavorful rice-and-bean dinner.
Makes 4 servings • Soy-free • Nut-free • Gluten-free
1 cup (185 g) uncooked white basmati rice 1 teaspoon safflower or sunflower oil
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
2 garlic cloves, minced (about 1 teaspoon)
1 hot green chile, such as serrano, finely chopped
1-1/2 cups (230 g) frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed
1/2 cup (90 g) chopped tomato
1/2 to 1 teaspoon garam masala
1 (15-ounce [425 g]) can chickpeas, drained, or 11/4 cups (213 g) cooked chickpeas
2 bay leaves
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (240 ml) water
GARNISHES
Freshly squeezed lemon juice
Red pepper flakes
Chopped fresh cilantro
1. Rinse the rice, then soak in warm water to cover at least 15 minutes while you begin the recipe.
2. Put the oil in the Instant Pot and tilt the pot to coat the bottom. Add the ginger, garlic, green chile, spinach, tomato, garam masala, chickpeas, bay leaves, salt, and water. Drain rice, add it to the pot, and give it a good stir.
3. Lock the lid into place, set the Pressure Release Knob to Sealing, select the Pressure Cook/Manual setting at high pressure, and set the cook time to 5 minutes.
4. Once the cooking cycle is done, let the pressure release naturally for 8 minutes, then carefully set the Pressure Release Knob from Sealing to Venting to release any remaining pressure. Open the lid and fluff the rice. Remove the inner pot (to keep the rice from continuing to cook) or transfer the rice to a serving bowl.
5. Garnish with lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and cilantro.
NOTE
• Once the cooking cycle is done, you want to wait 7 to 8 minutes, then fluff up the rice really well and remove the inner pot, so that the rice does not get overcooked as the heating element is still hot.
VARIATION
• Substitute another cooked bean, such as black- eyed peas, mung beans, kidney beans, or white beans for the chickpeas.
