I shove mine in a bread bowl/box (meaning followed bread as a container) instead&nbsp; and tear it up to mix into the salad when eating! Crunchy salad and dressing mixed in there without any excess sogginess. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-solution-for-taking-salad-to-work#post-984731 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 07:33:59 +0000 Ornella 984731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so happy you all find it a great idea. I was wondering if it made sense to post at all. But knowing how I hated my soggy salads and how simple this solution is, I hoped someone else will also gave that lightbulb moment "aha, dressing at the bottom, why didn't I think of that". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-solution-for-taking-salad-to-work#post-984702 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 05:20:10 +0000 Adelfa 984702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this! I'm a huge mason jar fan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-solution-for-taking-salad-to-work#post-984688 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 04:46:06 +0000 L'Abeille 984688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I must say, Ornella, when I saw your post I thought, "Great, she's linked to yet another of those nifty multi-piece plastic gadgets that will work great right up till I lose one of the parts. No thanks, not me, I'll keep doing it the hipster way and put mine in mason jars"<br /> Quelle surprise! And thanks.<br /> (And I never thought of putting the dressing in the bottom. But I too regularly knock mine over in transit.)<br /> What got me started on jars was Oh She Glows (website), when she even baked single-serving cakes and desserts in them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-solution-for-taking-salad-to-work#post-984500 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 01:08:25 +0000 Isabel 984500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG !!! &nbsp; What a fab, fab, fab tip !!!!! &nbsp; I cannot thank you enough. &nbsp;I will spare you the long story of WHY ! &nbsp; &nbsp;Hugs and kisses and more hugs. &nbsp;:-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-solution-for-taking-salad-to-work#post-984141 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 19:32:11 +0000 Mona 984141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great tip that I used today for lunch. Instead of glass jar, I used a deep square plastic container which I usually use for salad anyways. But instead of putting the dressing separately in a small container, I used the above trick. Worked like a charm. Thanks, Ornella. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-solution-for-taking-salad-to-work#post-983917 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 16:28:45 +0000 Diana 983917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw this and I want to try it.&nbsp; I have 2 problems though - one, since I carry my lunch bag in my purse, I can't guarantee that it won't tip over and mix while I'm commuting, and then the lettuce would get all soggy.&nbsp; And two, I don't bring my lunch in glass containers.&nbsp; I'd like to but it's too heavy (gotta be nice to the back) and I'm worried about breaking them if I clonk my bag down on something.&nbsp; I guess I could do it in a plastic container though, it just wouldn't be as cute.</p> <p>Right now, I take the wet ingredients (dressing, tomatoes, maybe a couple of other things) in a separate small screw top container from the main big container with lettuce, etc.&nbsp; </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-solution-for-taking-salad-to-work#post-983778 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 14:05:13 +0000 Ornella 983778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad it's of help VJ :-)</p> <p>I plan to switch to storing in glass more when I get bigger kitchen&nbsp;space. Plastic boxes are more stackable but all those issues with stuff leaking from it&nbsp;in the food makes me very nervous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-solution-for-taking-salad-to-work#post-983702 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 13:00:37 +0000 VernieJane 983702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the tip, this is a great idea and aesthetically pleasing too--people at the office will be jealous! We have tons of jars at home because we always plan on making preserves, but never quite get around to it! LOL! I use them for soups and for storing everything from cooked pasta to beans, etc in the fridge. This will now be my newest use for them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-solution-for-taking-salad-to-work#post-983484 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 04:05:41 +0000 rachylou 983484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smart. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-solution-for-taking-salad-to-work#post-983476 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 03:59:34 +0000 Sveta 983476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice tip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-solution-for-taking-salad-to-work#post-983146 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 22:26:33 +0000 Anonymous 983146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I take soup to work in half-pint mason jars.
