Purchasing pre-packaged salad fixin's.

[Guest guest]

LOL I've washed fresh spinach in bunches up to 5 times in the sink and still had

grit... I don't have this problem with any other greens. I have a great salad

spinner btw and lol it isn't a old pillow case. Here is the one I have. I

love it. http://tinyurl.com/jlpd9

LOL I have the same model salad spinner but I keep mine on the front

porch hehehehe.

 

I make a big salad base which is the greens, celery, onion & grated

carrot which I keep in a bag with a couple paper towels then on the

day I want salad, I add the wet/tender things that won't keep: tomato,

cucumber, mushroom, etc to my dish. The salad base keeps a week,

sometimes 10 days though I usually eat it up before that.

 

I never buy bagged greens either.

 

Peace,

Diane
