Recipe Notes:
Bento boxes aren't always leak-proof here's how I maximize freshness with mine:
- Store dips and sauces in a mini container with a lid.
- Keep crackers or tortilla chips stored in a small plastic bag to prevent sogginess.
- Blot vegetables with a paper towel to remove excess moisture before adding to the bento box (for example, pickles).
- Place a paper towel over top of all ingredients before adding the lid to help absorb moisture.
