Why you’ll love the new Woolworths Creamy Chicken Pasta Salad Kit …
For the Woolworths Creamy Chicken Pasta Salad Kit Product Review we asked mums to try this salad that’s pre-cooked and deliciously flavoured. The salad combines chicken, pasta, corn, parsley and caramalised red onion chutney, in a roasted garlic dressing.
All ingredients are packaged separately within the larger salad container for freshness and crunch. So all you have to do is mix them together just before serving.
How easy is that? No needing to buy (and prepare) all the separate ingredients! Just tip into a bowl, mix and serve.
We think these Woolworths Salad Kits are a brilliant idea for those times when you’re asked to bring a salad along to a BBQ or party … or even a picnic! And they are absolutely an inspired choice for busy weeknight dinners when you only have minutes to put dinner together.
I’m so happy with my experiments that I can do with these woolies salads. So I got 3 of these and added some falafel nuggets and some fresh ricotta to the mix, instead of the chicken. Oh yum. I have to say it turned out so cool that even my son wanted to have more. He is a fussy eater but yeah falafel nuggets made it happen. My hubby loves the garlic dip. Highly recommended.

So I tried this pack just recently and I would give it 4/5 score. The taste is pretty good and yes the dressing is great too. I love the fact the ingredients are packed separately. That way I can choose which packet i want and which not. This one I did not use the chicken, just added some cottage cheese paneer and boiled egg in lieu of the chicken. It just tasted great. i love mixing salads to get a good blend. Loved the change.

I bought this salad again last week and tailored it to my taste, after trying it the first time at the original home trial, with the ingredients in the original tub.
I like it as the original for a side dish when you have 4 people, but as we’re a couple we wouldn’t eat it all in one go.
This time we had half for lunch with added corn and tinned peas, fresh sliced Spanish onions and some grated extra tasty cheese. The second half we had on it’s own for dinner the next day.
I took all the basil leaves off before I mixed in the other ingredients, because if you don’t eat it all straight away the basil leaves become soggy and unappetising.
I have tried 2 types now and think this is a good one for lunches or any meals.
Definitely a healthy alternative to sandwiches and wraps.

We chose to have the Creamy Chicken Pasta Salad for lunch and it was great! Huge pieces of chicken and the caramelised red onion chutney was delicious. I really enjoyed the roasted garlic dressing! I was extremely impressed with the quality, the taste and the ability to mix the salads anywhere. They will be great for a quick easy dinner on a hot night!

Yes I just love mushrooms. So I thought let me swap the chicken with mushrooms.. yep and believe me , it was so good. The whole combination became yum yum and now a vegetarian like me has more choices to eat. The dressing is really good. I would recommend this based on freshness of ingredients.

My kids and I grabbed this when we were out and about for a quick lunch. Very convenient and we all loved it. The flavour is great. The only thing I would say but this was just for us, is to not put all the parsley in as it was a lot. Very filling and I think it would be a perfect side or great to grab for the summer BBQ salad.

I buy this frequently because it is delicious but its just no good for a crowd or entertaining. Its just to small and gets t pricey to get enough to feed a large amount of people. I really wish they would come out with a large or even extra large pack then i reckon they fly off the shelves.

These are great, salad ingredients are expensive and this way there is no wastage .

I’m a sucker for creamy or pasta anything so this creamy chicken pasta salad was a must try. I make a creamy pasta salad myself but it does take some time to prepare and I often don’t have time after work or am too exhausted. A balanced meal with variety is a priority to us. We liked this salad but would have preferred to use our own whole egg mayonnaise to dress it as opposed to the supplied. Other than that, would buy again!

It took weeks to find these in a nearby Woolworths. They don’t seem to be super widely available, making it hard to plan to have them.
The salad itself was super easy to prepare, though the amount of plastic was concerning. It was simply a matter of dumping everything into the main compartment and mixing with a spoon.
The caramelised onion was really good. I have made my own in past, so I have high standards for caramelised onion relish and this met those standards. The creamy pasta dressing was nice, and was in good proportion to the amount of pasta/chicken/etc. The chicken tasted nice, but could have done with more in proportion to the rest.
To serve with a meal you would definitely need another source of vegetables as, even though this is delicious, this salad really doesn’t have enough vegetables as a meal. I imagine it would work well as a side for lazy nights where you just want to throw some chicken/fish in the oven and not really cook, or as a side at a BBQ where there would be plenty of higher-veg dishes to have it with.

I find the Woolworths salad kit is awesome for a quick grab healthy meal for hubby who is a shift worker . I normally pack his lunch but decided to give this a go . Hubby is not normally big on salad as he is still hungry .
But he found that it was satisfying.. He works at Green square so he travels from Campbelltown.
He has fruit to munch on going to work now instead of a packet of crisps
Salad from Woolworths thank you very much which did enjoy fruit coming home at 9:30 at night . Not getting home till a 11 .. so he misses all the main meals . Now if you are like me and a truly over making for
Do for shift workers these are perfect . I grab 2 well the other is with him tonight . So no more pizza or maccers for him at work.. looking forward to trying others also ..

How to choose the best lunch box for school
When you’re searching for a kids’ lunch box, take the time to work out what will best suit their needs. If you make the right choice and invest in a quality one, it will last many years.
Box, bento or bag? If your child doesn’t like different foods touching, a bento lunch box is a great choice. Also, think about whether they prefer cut-up or whole fruit; a bento is better suited to cut food, while bags and boxes suit whole fruit. Bags are fantastic if you like to pack separate containers, like smaller bento or snack containers.
Freshness is a must – An insulated bag or box will keep everything cool and fresh until snack and lunchtime. But you can also get boxes that come with cold and ice packs. Remember, kids’ lunches often sit at room temperature for up to 5 or 6 hours before they’re eaten, so insulation and coolness are important. Check out how to keep school lunches safe in the heat.
Easy-to-clean design – Check if the box is dishwasher-safe, or for lunch bags, if they’re machine-washable.
Leak-proof – The last thing you want is a soggy mess at lunchtime, so if buying a hard lunch box, look for designs that are leak-proof with proper seals.
Child-friendly – Depending on your child’s motor skills and independence, you may need to start with a product that’s simple to open and close.
The right size – We tend to pack way too much in our kids’ lunches, so think about how much realistically you’ll need to pack for your child when choosing the size of their lunch box. You may also need to consider the size of their school bags.

The spill-proof individual compartments mean no mixing of savoury and sweet, and the 280ml double-wall thermos keeps soups and pasta hot for up to six hours!
Health professionals agree that kids need a good balance of lean protein, grains, fruit and vegetables throughout the school day. Skip the processed food and try to reach for whole foods that pack a punch in the nutrient department. Here are some great ideas:
Grilled chicken or turkey wraps with fresh salad
Crackers and vegetable sticks with healthy dips like hummus
Whole-grain pasta with cherry tomatoes and your choice of cheese
Zucchini slice cut into rectangles for easy stacking in an insulated box
Getting ready for the return to school has started to kick in so this was a timely read. We have the yum box and i love it, it is so easy for my daughter to open and close on her own. I find the lunch cooler bags also a great idea however some days depending on what else needs to go to school, they can be quite bulky to include in the school bag. I need to do some more research this year as i like the idea of being able to watch it in the washing machine, that is a clever idea.
Along with all of the other back to school products; there is also a good range of lunch boxes available for people to buy. It has been fun to see the wide range of bottles and lunch boxes that are available for the new year for school and for work.
Lunch boxes have come such a long way since my eldest was a kid, he’s now 26! There’s really a solution to everything from food heating, cooling, dividers, pockets etc etc. Lunch boxes are a real fashion accessory and so on-trend these days. I personally love the Bento lunch boxes. They save on plastic and separate different foods.
I am such a huge fan of Bento lunch boxes and Bento. Food should be so many wonderful things; including delicious, fun, colourful and nutritious too. Lunch is a favourite meal because the body is ready for some more calories and a boost of energy. Food looks so good in Bento lunch boxes.
So so many fantastic options! We use the montii co ones for our kdis and swear by it. Its lasted 3 years so far and still standing strong, like new since the first day using it. They are so durable and i find cleaning them to be the easiest for us.
There are so many great lunch box option out there indeed ! I’ve always liked the Bento style lunch boxes for my kids. It reduces the use of plastic lunch bags and packaged food which aren’t very good for the environment and it encourages to present a good variety of foods (which is not only better nutrition wise but lao to prevent our kids from getting bored with same foods all the time.
There are some really fabulous options here. So many variations of colour, shape and size. I love the bento style lunch boxes, so handy to keep food separate and eliminate the use of plastic packaging. The machine washable bags are a great idea too. They can get grubby so fast, this would be so much easier to maintain
This has gotten much easier since my kids hit high school – they have strong opinions about their lunch boxes, so I don’t have to think about it so much anymore! However, I am strongly in favor of bento style boxes regardless of their age. They’re easy to clean, easy to pack, and invite appropriate sized portions.
Great article! Our kids are so lucky, when it comes to lunchboxes, they really are spoilt for choice. There are so many to pick from. Regarding sandwiches, my eldest son, used to hate sandwiches for school lunches. It wasn’t until many years later that I discovered that he’d throw out his sandwiches in the playground bins. My son’s an adult now and he still hates sandwiches. He only likes “hot” lunches. So glad he lives on his own now and can make his own “hot” lunches just the way he likes them.
This is an extremely useful article!! 2 schppl going kids and third starting kinder soon means we are always on the lookout for lunch ideas and lunch boxes. This is a great list with features and prices listed to make the search easier and help with decision making for purchasing of the lunch boxes
This is super useful article and thank you. I can see so variety of lunch boxes from every store. Always wonder which one would be more convenient to use by little hands. I love some of these lunchboxes to give it a try for this year. And then decide to go with suitable ones
Wow, lunch boxes have really come such a long way from when I was taking a lunch box to school. Feel old, like “back in my day”, but we were lucky to have options like are available now. While I like some of these designs, I feel like they aren’t super practical.
These lunchboxes are beautiful but are they really worth the expensive price tag? I have been through so many lunch boxes and bags over the years and found the best it to use an insulated lunchbox bag with ice brick and use small containers to keep individual items fresh and assessable.
I love the bbox lunch boxes. They are so reliable and tough when kids throw their bags around. Easy to wash and store. I have used the we can be tiny snackies at home too. The boys love choosing a certain animal shape. They wash well, are durable and great quality.
My kids are old enough now to pack their own lunches and I am so happy to see the great choices they are making. They take left over meals, cook food in the morning to take and now I am confident they aren’t throwing away sandwiches! I do have the chilly bags for them, I find they fit better into bags
My daughter uses a bento box now for work and sometimes an insulated bag in summer, but when she was at school it was a rectangular lunch box with no compartments. It was very easy to wash each day, just the box and lid, and it could still be filled with rolls/sandwiches and snacks.
Lunchboxes are so important these days. Back in my day it was a brown paper bag or the exact same lunch box that everyone else had and there were three compartments. Today its such a fashion statement and as much as the lunchbox itself is judged so are the contents.
I absolutely love the bb box quite sturdy. It took many lunch box to find one that would last. Before this lunch box we had a stuck on you. I found the stuck on you lunch box didn’t last when the hinge’s snapped they wouldn’t get back to me (only had for a short time and my youngest couldn’t open it so it wasn’t dropped. Just opened it after the 8th time and snapped). The bb box has lasted the last year and a half and still going strong
What a great help for busy Mommas like us. From the style to comfort and convenience, this article really put the best for our kids. Not to mention the added info about safety on what these lunchboxes were made of! I am also impressed about the organisation function of each, it seems small but woooh could put so much…thanks for sharing this article
