S'well's 64oz stainless steel salad kit solves the one real problem with packing a salad for later: soggy greens. A removable tray and a 2oz leakproof canister keep dressing and toppings away from the lettuce until you're ready to mix, and the double-walled, vacuum-insulated steel keeps everything genuinely cold (or warm) for hours — reviewers happily use it for soup, noodles and pho too, not just salad. The tray lifts out when you want the full 64oz, the steel resists stains and odors, and it's top-rack dishwasher safe (many hand-wash the lid and tray to prolong it).
At 4.5 stars from over 2,300 ratings it's a strong performer — a real meal-prep bowl, not just a container — but a few honest notes from the reviews. The lid needs a firm, deliberate push to seal; it's described as needing 'moderate hand strength,' so it's not the easiest for weaker hands. The bowl is wide at the top, so it may not fully fit a narrow soft lunch bag's zipper. And a handful of buyers report light scratches on arrival, plus it's on the pricier side. For keeping a packed salad crisp, though, it does exactly what it promises.

FAQ
Does it actually keep dressing separate?
Yes — the small canister and removable tray hold dressing and toppings away from the greens until you mix.
How long does it stay cold?
The double-walled steel keeps salads (and soups) noticeably cool or warm for several hours.
Is the lid hard to seal?
It needs a firm, deliberate push to lock — some buyers note it takes more hand strength than a snap-lid container.
Can I use it for hot food too?
Yes — buyers use it for soup, noodles and pho as well, since the insulation works both ways.
