The 8 Best Salad Lunch Containers for Easy Packing
Soggy vegetables and leaking boxes won’t be a problem with these picks.
Picture this: you decided that you’re not going to buy lunch at the cafeteria or at a restaurant near the office today. Instead, you packed your own lunch — a delicious, crisp salad filled with nutritious greens and a zesty dressing. But when you open the lid of your beat-up tupperware come lunchtime, you find that your beautiful salad has been reduced to mushy leaves and a separated dressing.
If you’re a salad lover and bringing one for lunch is a staple in your diet, packaging is key. That’s why upgrading the container you keep your salad in will make sure that it’s properly enjoyed the way it is meant to be. Keep scrolling to find our top salad container picks that will make storing greens and meals on the go that much better.
This little bottle technically isn’t a salad container, but it will make transporting your salad dressing so much easier. The OXO Good Grips Twist & Pour Salad Dressing Mixer is a favorite among Food Network and is tiny, leakproof and convenient to transport. Fill it up with your dressing ingredients and then mix and drench your salad when it’s lunchtime.
This designated salad container from OXO checks all the boxes — it has a top container to separate the protein from the greens, includes an additional container for condiments or dressings and stacks seamlessly before locking. It’s also microwave, freezer and dishwasher safe, so any lunch you bring will be safe to eat.
If you’re somebody who likes a lot of toppings in their salad, this bento box-style container can separate things out for you. Keep your produce fresh by storing them in the bottom airtight container and use the top three designated trays for toppings and the one in the middle for dressing. As an added bonus, the container also comes in several adorable colors to choose from.
Mix things up with this salad bowl container. This fancy bowl is made of stainless steel and also has a tray that separates the greens from the toppings. The polished look doesn’t stop there — the set also comes with an equally sleek salad dressing container that’s leakproof.
For the people who want to carry an even bigger portion of salad with them on the go, this Caperci Salad Container Bowl can hold a whopping 68 oz just in the bottom compartment alone. Add up to five toppings from the compartment tray and you’ve got yourself a salad feast coworkers will be jealous of.
Pretend like your salad is from restaurant takeout with this container. Extremely lightweight and coming in a set of four, these tupperwares are easily stackable and perfect for taking multiple salads on the go. It also has a cute little hole in the lid for a small dressing container.
If you like the Mason Jar look but don’t find it extremely practical, look no further than the Uncommon Goods Salad Pod. Unscrew the lid to find your salad dressing container. Once you put the lid back on, you can lay the jar on its side and open the side compartment to eat your salad from a little bowl. The best part? Despite the numerous caps and lids on such a small jar, the entire container is leakproof.
The bento-box type container isn’t the only way you can store your salads. Keep it sleek with this stainless steel bowl, which comes with a press-in lid and insulation that will make sure those veggies don’t wilt. The seal isn't leakproof so we recommend transporting your salads upright with this container, but not to worry, the bowl’s durability and high-quality material more than make up for it.
