  4. Dice the red pepper very finely and split it evenly between 4-6 small jars.
  5. Add the black bean mash to each jar, pressing it down gently so it sticks to the pepper layer below.

  7. Spoon coconut yogurt into each jar.
  8. Dice the cabbage very finely and add it to each jar on top of the coconut yogurt.
  9. Add avocado mash to each jar, pressing it down gently so it sticks to the cabbage.
  10. Top each jar with spicy pineapple salsa, making sure that the avocado mash layer is completely covered so that the avocado will not be exposed to air and turn brown.
