Want to know how to keep a green salad longer?
It's true that a salad wilts very quickly.
Especially when you keep it in the fridge. It's a shame because it's wasteful...
Fortunately here is a trick that no one knows to keep it fresh for a whole week:
1. Put a small amount of lettuce in a bag. Do not fill it completely. There must be room in it for air (as in the photo).
2. Slightly close the bag with one hand and blow into it to fill it with air (carbon dioxide).
3. Then close the bag by turning it several times and finish with a classic knot.
4. Place your bag of salad in the fridge. Repeat the operation for the rest of the salad.
There you go, your green salad will be able to be kept much longer in the fridge :-)
These puffy bags take up more space in your refrigerator but the loss of space is worth it.
Your salad will stay fresh, crisp and tasty.
If you wash your salad before putting it in the bag, remember to dry it well with a clean cloth to avoid moisture.
Note that this trick works for all leafy green vegetables such as lettuce, baby spinach, arugula, mesclun, arugula, or even lamb's lettuce.
Icing on the cake, it also works for fresh herbs.
Remember to wash plastic bags and dry them so you can easily reuse them.
