Have you had to throw away your Green Salad after 2 – 3 days because it looks unpleasant to eat?   Guess What!  I’ve done that a bunch of times until I figured out the trick that helps make your salad stay fresh longer without wilting & going bad.  When I make a green salad, I make a large bowl full so it will last for 4 – 5 days.  Before I put the salad in the refrigerator, I would take a couple of paper towel sheets & place them flat directly on top of the salad before putting the lid on.  By doing this, the paper towels will absorb the moisture from the salad & keeps it staying fresh & crisp.

Another great tip that helps – After washing the lettuce, I put it in one of my kitchen gadgets, a salad spinner, to remove the excess moisture before cutting it up when making the salad.
