I don't know about all of you but I struggle with keeping my salad fresh all week. By day 3 I am usually having to pick out and throw away large portions of the bag. It was gets annoying.....
I was currently buying the large plastic salad containers from Costco or Safeway. That didn't last so I though, "hummm maybe the bags". Tried that and nope even worse!
So I did some research and found an idea to try. Here is what I did and my results!
1. Buy a head of lettuce and a bag (or plastic container of arugula). I add arugula to all my salads because I love the taste (so that's optional!).
2. Wash, dry, and chop how you desire for your salad.
3. Place in a zip lock bag with a paper towel on each side (See pic below), smoosh air out, and seal.
4. 5 days after purchase, I opened it up and was shocked!!! There was some moisture on the paper towel and I threw out maybe 2 little pieces of lettuce from the whole bag!
5. I will most definitely be doing it again this week.
Hope this helps and feel free to comment and let me know if it worked for you or any other tips you may want to share.
Thanks,
