How to Pack Egg Salad Stuffed Celery for Lunch
Now, grab those ingredients, and let me show you how to assemble them for packed lunch:
- Prep
Wash and prep the veggies and fruit. Fill the celery with egg salad and top with olive slices. - Pack it up
Place the celery into a compartmentalized lunch box and add the fruit and additional snacks to the empty compartments. - Wet and dry ingredients separate
If packing this with crackers or other dry ingredients, keep them separate from the wet ingredients, so they don’t soak up excess moisture. - Keep it cool
Close the container and place it in a lunch bag with an ice pack.
Having a compartmentalized lunch container comes in super handy when you want to pack snacks and lunches with variety. Check out my favorite options here.
