How to make lettuce and salad greens last longer

April 18, 2020

Fresh lettuce and salad have been the biggest treat for me this quarantine! There is nothing worse than having your spring greens mix turn soggy or having your lettuce wilt before you can eat it.

Paper towels to the rescue! For boxed salads, take off the lid and put a piece of paper towel on the top. Put the lid on and store upside down in the fridge. This makes it last SO much longer!

For bagged salads, spinach leaves, etc. just put paper towels around the inside of the bag. For romaine, green lettuce and iceberg just wrap the head of lettuce in a paper towel and store in a plastic bag.

Hope this helps!
