Black Bean Filling
- 1 teaspoon olive oil

Prep Salad Jar Ingredients
- Place the ingredients for the dressing in a blender and puree until creamy and smooth. Divide the dressing among 4 mason jars.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic cloves then cook for 5-6 minutes until translucent and soft. Stir in the chili powder, oregano, cayenne pepper, salt and fresh tomatoes. Cook for another 5 minutes until soft. Stir in the black beans and set aside until cool.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil a large skillet over medium heat. Add the potato cubes, then cook until seared on every side, about 4-5 minutes. When the potatoes are browned, reduce the heat to medium-low then cover with a lid and cook until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
Assemble Salad Jar

Tighten the lid and place in the fridge. They will keep in the fridge for at 3-4 days.
