I bought several salad containers to pack work lunches. I was concerned they would be too small, because I make some pretty decent sized salads. I was pleasantly surprised, the bowl is deep and holds (for me) a full size meal/salad. In the past, I disliked packing (or eating prepackaged) salad for lunch because the protein/toppings are on top of the greens, everything gets mixed in transit, add the dressing and then .. Stir, shake...? It doesn't work well - I end up with dressing gooped on my protein, naked greens, soggy croutons. For me, this bowl solves the lunch salad hassle. Toppings stay separated from greens, and when you take the divider tray out, you can dress the greens - there is still room to mix /toss lightly with the fork because the bowl is so deep. Then I add my toppings, it's perfect. The dressing container holds a lot - I usually don't fill it, but it holds so much you could use half on the greens and dump the rest on top if you like heavy dressing. The sectioned insert holds my toppings without mixing dry and wet. The two salads I prepped tonight are in the pics. Yes, that is 8 oz chicken, fitting easily, (although I do press it down and take pack it in there.) Other reviews have mentioned to be gentle with the lids' closing mechanism, but I will too: I was a little overzealous stacking the green lid in the dishwasher, the clasp caught on the side when I pushed in the dishwasher rack. (last pic) It seems like it broke pretty easily when I was rough with the dishwasher, but I've been using this bowl twice a week for 6 months - I've even dropped the whole assembly, while it was full (onto cement, and it bounced,) but it didn't crack or break at all when I dropped it, so it's not super fragile either. I'm requesting a replacement lid, and it makes me so happy that Bentgo backs up their products I'm actually going to buy more bowls just like it. Very happy with these bowls!!

We use these almost every day. Easy to clean and very handy to compartmentalize different toppings. I even use this for non-salad meals. I had an issue with a clasp breaking off. I contacted customer service and within days they fulfilled a warranty request and will be sending a replacement.

I purchased this almost two years ago in a two pack and used one very consistently, 4 days a week. I love that the salad dressing doesn’t spill and make a mess all over my lunch bag and I wash it on the top rack of my dishwasher and it’s remained in great shape. So easy and compact and fits in my lunchbox perfectly with all the toppings separately. I’ve gotten a lot of compliments and now have a couple other coworkers using these salad bowls now too!

We bought these to use for our kids lunches as their appetites have grown and we were finding the smaller bento style kits just weren’t big enough. We love that we can put a sandwich in the bottom and then the top we use for fruit, veggies and snacks. They are easy to open even for our 6 year old and very sturdy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very nice! My boyfriend is on a healthy kick lately and he loves the compartments. No one wants to eat soggy salad. It allows him to add all his favorite items into one compact container and have a fresh salad with fresh ingredients.

My issue with making salads for lunch is they were always limp and soggy by lunch. Especially is I prepped the night before. Once I got the salad containers, I was able to keep lettuce and greens away from tomatoes and cucumbers, and my salads were much more palatable by lunch. I love the dressing cups, and I started getting adventurous with salsa, hummus, guac etc. I am so happy and motivated to eat healthier. So grateful for my salad bowls!

I've enjoyed this container for a while since it's easy to carry to work and keeps my salad fresh (you know how a salad can get soggy and brown when all the toppings sit together with lettuce for hours!!!) Anyways, this has worked well but recently the top broke. I'm glad i reached out to customer service though because they will be replacing it.

For salads, this was a disappointment. I ordered four of these as we prep salads on Sunday for the weekday lunches. We used to use mason jars (dressing on bottom, then lettuce, toppings on top), and it worked well. I thought these would provide a better solution, but ultimately they haven't. For starters, the lid doesn't seal to just the bowl if you remove the compartment tray. Therefore, you CANT mix the salad in the both, put the lid on, and shake it to properly dress a salad. This was a big disappointment. Either make it where the lid can seal with or without the compartment tray, or otherwise allow the compartment tray to be flipped upside down and fit inside the bowl so the lid can still lock in place. Having to manually toss the salad (as all know) just creates a giant mess and make it hard to properly dress a salad. Further, while it says dishwasher safe and microsafe, only certain pieces are. And when they arrived the actual instructions indicate not to use the dishwasher to preserve the 'seal' of the dressing cup and the lid on the bowl. So you end up with a LOT of dishes to handwash if you want to try and preserve their use. They indicate only the bowl should go in the microwave, but not for long. So not the best for soups or other dishes that they may need an extended heating time in the microwave. Also, the tray should be microwavable, as typically you would heat up the protein (chicken, whatever) going on a salad, and the bowl is already filled with lettuce. So if you want to heat up anything in the compartment tray, you'll have to either empty the bowl first to use it, or otherwise get another dish to use. Lastly, and this is my fault (I should've thought about it), but compared to other to go containers that all stack within themselves, these do not store well. They are assembled and stored, and they're quite bulky. Whereas other containers you can typically stack bowls and lid within themselves for more efficient storage. We don't use these for other meal prep, so their compartments and bowl may be more useful for other meals other than salads. But since advertise as the all-in-one salad container, it's ultimately lacking in actual effectiveness. I wouldn't buy it.

I would like to share that I have been caring the bento to go all in one salad bowl container for six years. It is my favorite for work and travel. I love how the 4 ounce compartment tray keeps things dry like croutons, nuts, and tomatoes from leaking into each other, the air tie leak proof lid is very reliable and has never come apart accidentally from the container .

My child has a bengto lunch box and I have been looking for a salad container for very long. I was so pleased to see a brand I like have the EXACT item I was looking for. I love that is has two layers of storage and a container for your salad dressing. It also has a fork, I noticed they also come in glass which I want to try as well!
