I'm gonna slice a lemon in two

ventaWhile doing something work-related online, I ended up reading this recipe. Which was not work-related.
Anyway, the recipe is for "Spinach, blueberry, almond and blue cheese jar salad". Which seems to be like a regular salad, except you put the ingredients in layers. In a jar. And I thought, err, yes. Pretty. But surely it'd be a right old pain to eat?
Then I scrolled down, and discovered that the page has an entire repertoire of "jar salads". Is putting salad in a jar a Thing now?
Do you eat it out of the jar, or decant onto a plate? Isn't a 1kg Mason jar a rather heavy thing to carry your bait to work in? (Though I concede it might be more environmentally-friendly than a plastic box.) Is a jar salad purely something to be used in some form of office lunch oneupmanship contest, only to be trumped when people begin carrying their packups in shabby-chic'd furniture, or recycled kimonos?
Enquiring minds need to know.

is the online version of the clipping. It explains some of the reasons why you might want to put a salad in a jar in such a fancypants manner.
Still doesn't explain how to eat it, though! If I can locate a suitable jar, I might give it a try and report back.
