How to extend the freshness of salad leaves: 3 useful tips
Salad lovers know how difficult it is to keep tender greens crisp and fresh for a long period of time. SSPDaily has prepared a selection of reliable methods that will help you keep your salad fresh and appetizing for at least a week.
Colander
First, after buying, rinse the lettuce leaves thoroughly with cold water. Don't forget that you shouldn't dry them, because shaking them will be enough to remove excess water.
Put the greens in a round bowl and cover with a colander. Then put them in the refrigerator. This method is especially useful when you are dealing with a large amount of salad.
Storage in a jar
Fill a regular jar with water and put the salad in it without cutting off the roots. This method works well for various types of herbs, including dill and parsley.
Wrapping with paper towel
To improve preservation, wrap the lettuce in a slightly damp paper towel. Although this method is not ideal for storing large bunches of greens, it ensures that a few leaves will remain fresh for a few more days.
