Why you’ll love the new Woolworths Spanish Style Pasta Salad Kit …
For the Woolworths Spanish Style Pasta Salad Kit Product Review we asked mums to try this Spanish Style Salad that combines parsley, fetta and red onion, with a delicious pasta that’s coated in a rich tomato basil 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.
Here’s an awesome 10 minute, 1 pan dinner idea using the Woolworths Spanish Style Pasta Salad Kit
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.
Okay so I experimented with the woolies Spanish style pasta today. I loved the experiment. I added chopped mushroom and leggos pasta sauce and mixed the salad kit… Oh yum the combination was amazing. I love to experiment with the woolies salad and they turn so good. The quality of ingredients is really fresh. Love it.

We chose Spanish Style Pasta Salad Kit as a side dish and they loved it. Everything was so easy to throw together in the container, my 12 year old enjoyed making it. There was just the right amount for our large family of 9. There was the right amount of chorizo, making it not too spicy for the kids to eat. I liked that the basil was pre shredded and not too overpowering, a good balance when mixed with the pasta.
Overall, I was extremely impressed with the quality and the ability to mix the salads in the container they came in anywhere. Great value for money and generous serving sizes. My kids were actually excited to have salads again. everything was in the right proportions, that there wasn’t too much of something and we were able to remove things we didn’t want or like. Extremely convenient.

I decided to try the Spanish Style Pasta Salad from Woolworths because it basically contains everything I love. Pasta, Fetta cheese, red onions and parsley. I wasn’t sure how much I’d enjoy the pasta sauce but I was very pleasantly surprised. The rich tomato basil dressing was kind of tangy and it had great tomato flavour. Loaded with goodness and flavour packed indeed! I didn’t mix the ingredients together initially because I first wanted to taste the pasta on its own. When I mixed them altogether, it even tasted better. Yum! Call me lazy (if you must), but I love the convenience of having all the ingredients for a great salad in one kit. I served the salad with chicken and my whole family were impressed. They reckon I’m a pretty good chef (tee hee). I cannot wait to impress them with the rest of the Woolworths Deli Salad Kits in the range!

I didn’t get chosen for this review but I couldn’t go past this Spanish style pasta salad when I saw it reduced in Woolworths. We ended up having it with some inghams, extra lean turkey burgers and it was absolutely delicious! The pasta salad could definitely be eaten on its own as it has so much flavour. There definitely isn’t enough for 4 people but feeds at least 2 well. I like that some of the ingredients are packaged separately to the pasta salad to keep it extra fresh. I would highly recommend this Spanish style pasta salad, as it is bursting with different flavours! This is the second flavour, I have tried, in the new pasta salad range in Woolworths and can ultimately say that both of them were incredibly delicious and worth the splurge!

The Woolworths Spanish Style Pasta Salad kit is such a versatile salad which can be used as an accompaniment to chicken or barbeque meat or just on its own for a quick lunch. I really enjoy a nice salad but I’m often the only one wanting one so these kits are so convenient for me. I also enjoy trying new mixes because bland salads can be boring so this Spanish pasta salad was really appreciated. The tomato basil dressing was rich and delicous.

My family simply love the Greek salad kit from Woolworths. All their salads are so fresh and easy to prepare. The salad is very tasty with a delicious dressing. The salads are reasonably priced and the quality is awesome. They are quite famous, grab them quickly. I love the parsley addition to it. The quantity is adequate for one person but you can always increase the quantity by adding more stuff like feta and spinach and ofcourse parsley. Recommend trying.

I tried this for the first time on the weekend and i was surprised. I quiet liked it. It was convenient, easy and tasted nice. I liked that i could serve it from the bowl it come in, instead of having to dirty another dish. I would have liked a bit more of the flavoring. It was yum.

This was so good. I just love how all the ingredients, every thing you will need, is packed in the one container. All items are individually wrapped too, to maintain quality and freshness. The rich tomato basil dressing is to die for, they should bottle that, they would make a fortune. Everything is chopped up. All you need to do is empty all ingredients in to a bowl and mix to combine. To save washing up, I mixed it all together in the container I bought it in. Fabulous side dish at a BBQ or for a quick dinner. Just add meat and chips. Everyone from Nan down to grandson loved it, clean plates all round. Well done Woolworths a product I will happily buy again and again

The woolies salad kits are nice and very convenient when you are in a hurry or just not game for making dinner or lunch. We have tried the Spanish style pasta kit a few times now. My hubby really likes the taste. It’s not adequate for him as a full meal but yes as a side. The ingredients are always fresh and they are reasonably priced. I recommend this to all mums who need a break sometimes.

I bought this salad from Woolworths when it was on sale. I think the size of this salad is perfect for a side for a bbq or dinner. Three out of the five of us liked the pasta salad while two were not as keen on the sauce flavouring. I think these salads are convenient, easy to carry on the go and generally pretty healthy.

This salad was delicious and so simple to create. You could add as much or as little of the extras that you want.
I loved that you could also use the container as the serving bowl. And is resealable.
The salad was very generous and went well as a side dish. The rocket was a little soggy but I added extra spinach leaves to bulk it out.
I have bought this and a few others since!

Loved the top tray bc u could remove it and tip the top ingredients into the pack and pretty much just mix it all inside the pack meaning no dishes. Also u could close the lid on leftovers. I love that there is variety and the convenience and size of packs. Price was a bit high though for amount in pack.

I enjoyed this salad but my elderly mother thought it a bit spicy.
I was able to get about 3 serves out of it as side dish or for lunch.
The ingredients were of good quality and the sauce tasty.
However I would not buy it regularly as I found the cost rather expensive.

I have tried many of the Woolworths Deli salads. I enjoyed the other salads that I tried. I did not enjoy this one. I did not like the flavours in the tomato based pasta. I picked out the cherry tomatoes and feta to eat, but threw away the rest of the salad. My children, who ate the creamy chicken pasta, would not eat this one.

Overall I found the Spanish style pasta salad to be a let down. The herbs were overpowering and took away from the idea of the salad. overall none of the family wanted to even try the salad after the first person. I do look forward to trying other salads within this range.

Dragging my kids through holiday madness to the local Woolworths was exhausting, especially after I tried to buy my kit online with my weekly shop. I was disappointed as the full range was not available. I finally selected the Spanish Style Pasta Salad and headed home. The clear packaging was appealing and as I opened the kit was pleasantly surprised that everything looked fresh. I combined the bits and pieces and replaced the lid to shake the salad. I felt like a Kardashian- fat ass and all! I was excited as it was one less meal I had to think about for that day. I sat down in anticipation and was unfortunately disappointed. The sauce was very strong and not pleasantly so. I had forgotten it was meant to have chorizo until about half way through when I found a tiny rogue square of a suspicious meat. I had to recheck the packaging to see what it was. I wasn’t able to finish the salad as it just was not enjoyable. I would definitely try another salad but would not purchase this one again, especially not for $9.

The salad kit was very convenient and made a colourful display when plated up. All the ingredients were fresh and the pasta was cooked perfectly with plenty of sauce but unfortunately I didn’t enjoy the flavour of the salad and I thought it was very expensive . The salad kit was supposedly to serve 4 people but I found it was a perfect serving for 2 people.

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.

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
