Yes, it rather caught me by surprise, too, how strongly people hold their views on salads at work.

One "tupperware" ... no need for a bowl, double bags or salad utensils. I might use a cutting board for any chopping/shredding, but then I just put everything in the tupperware. Pop the lid on, and toss to my heart's content (which really isn't much, I don't need my salad to be super tossed).

No need to get defensive.

I'd be far more concerned about baggies getting torn or getting squished to the point of popping that I would about any of my tupperware leaking. I could play soccer with my tupperware (using the term generically; as stated before, they're more specifically Rubbermaid) and they still wouldn't leak.

Avocado and sardines? If it's a dry salad (and no dressing) why two bags?

Neither have I; you can buy it online now. Of course, you don't get cake or little keychain if there's no party. LOL

Because I don't spin my leaves. There is still water on them for the spices and cheese to attach. Neither do I drain my olives, capers, or sardines.

So wet lettuce and dripping sardines and no dressing? I'll stick to a salad in a tuperwear bowl that is actually appetizing. Honestly I think you have shared a solution to a problem no one else on the planet has.

To each their own; I love it!

And I am not adding to my daily diet (I'm different at restaurants) whatever is in many a salad dressing.

Have a good laugh - no storage in an efficiency apartment but a box of real Tupper bowls. In the oven they went. Do I have to say more?

Lunch and freezer boxes are the only plastic in the kitchen.
