Shake your own salad

We all know that a certain fast food restaurant carries a line of salads in shakers. The premise is that you fill the container with all your salad ingredients, pour in a separate container of dressing, close the lid and shake. After a minute, you salad is completely dressed and ready to eat out of the same container.

The Salad Blaster is a reusable, dishwasher safe way to take advantage of this technique in your own home - or better yet, in your lunch at school or at the office. The Blaster has a reservoir in the lid that holds the dressing, while the base contains all your salad fixings. Simply press the top bottom to dispense the dressing into the salad, shake and your lunch is ready to eat, though you will have to provide your own fork.

i've had this for a while. i like it and use it a lot. my only complaint is that it's hard to clean the dressing compartment.

Yay! Finally a practical way to transport salad fixins to and from my work. :) I've been using tupperware containers for my greens and empty pill bottles for the dressing... kind of ugly and messy.

Thanks for the link.

Why not just use a small zip lock bag for the salad dressing. Put in the corner of the bag, close and twist. Then just bite off the corner of that zip lock bag and pour your dressing on your salad and shake in the rubbermaid container. Then you don't have to clean some little container that has oily dressing on it.

Or am I just ghetto style?

I just purchased this Blaster and thought it was a good idea, until I washed it(by hand according to the directions). The whole top cracked and split.
