Here's a Raw Tossed Salad Tip

Here's a Raw Tossed Salad Tip

I learned this tip years ago from my friend Carol. She, like me, is a salad lover and eats salad at least 4-5 times a week. Here is her tip...

Buy a variety of fresh vegetables ex.: (this is my standard)

• large head of romaine lettuce
• 1 hefty handful of the cabbage slaw mix (the kind with some red cabbage and carrots mixed in)
• 1-2 handful of baby spinach (trim off the stems)
• ½ bunch of green onions
• 6-8 red radishes
• ½ red onion
• 6-8 button mushrooms
• small container of cherry tomatoes
• 1 small package of sugar snap peas

Once home:

• wash and clean them thoroughly
• shake off excess water
• DRY THEM!  Yes dry them; this insures that the vegetables stay fresher longer.  I use a clean cotton kitchen towel, sometimes 2 to make sure they are dry.

 

After all vegetables have been washed and dried it is time to make your salad.  It will stay fresh up to a week.  The best part is having one side dish already made for supper or a quick lunch for those of you who work in or out side the home.
