Salads on the Go

I've heard people say that they "wish" they could bring a salad to work instead of spending a fortune going out, but don't want a soggy mess.  It's not just in the Spring or Summer either, its all seasons.
Have you ever heard that or maybe even thought that?

Tupperware has some solutions, but here it is in a nutshell (or should I say a Quick Shake).

It really is just this easy, and with the Quick Shake container, with the screw on top, you don't have to worry about it going all over.

To get you started, here is a quinoa salad that you could take that won't be a soggy mess if you follow the simple packing suggestions above.
