Keep in mind that some ingredients stay fresher in the refrigerator longer than others. If you are doing meal planning and want to prepare a variety of ingredients for an entire week, plan it so that you consume the ingredients that can stay fresh until later in the week.
The easiest way to allow your ingredients last longer is to separate the dressing/ gravy with dry ingredients to prevent them from getting soggy. Mason jars are great for salad and ensuring crisp lettuce because you don't need to pack an extra container for the dressing. As long as the veggies are layered on top and the proteins/dressing are on the bottom, you won't have a problem with soggy salad.
