For the dressing: Combine all ingredients in a cruet or jar. Put the lid on and gently shake. Using four 16-ounce mason jars, add 3 tablespoons of the dressing to each of the four mason jars. For the salad jars: The dressing is already in the 4 mason jars, now it's time to divide the ingredients into fourths and start layering. For the purple cabbage and greens, a small handful of each should do. Start with the carrots and layer in order of ingredient list, topping the jar with Medjool date pieces. Screw the lid on each jar. You can make these up to a day before and refrigerate until ready to serve. When ready to serve, guests can gently toss by turning the jar upside down and around. Pour the mixed salad onto a plate. Go ahead and add some crunch by topping with your favorite croutons or wonton strips.
