How to Keep Lettuce Fresh and Crisp | Salad, Sandwiches, and Weekly Meal Plan Prep

How to Keep Lettuce Fresh and Crisp for weekly meal plan prep. Spend a little time prepping your lettuce for storage in the refrigerator and it will be ready for you to "grab and go" for weekly meals. This method will help keep your lettuce from turning brown. It is great for quick salads, sandwiches, tacos, wraps, or other quick meals. I make a salad for lunch and it is fresh and ready for on the go meal prep.

I put my cut up lettuce in the spinner, fill with water and a bit of lemon juice and let it sit for 10-15 minutes, dump the water, rinse, rinse, then spin! Keeps fresh for days!

I've had the same lettuce spinner/keeper for at least 8 years now. However, the lettuce knife was a nice find. Thanks, Amy!

I have owned those Rubbermaid fresh save for years and I love them a head of lettuce can last almost up to a month and it still crispy and fresh I put my celery and green onions tomatoes I know you’re not supposed to tomatoes in the fridge but I like them cold and an L peppers and it keeps them so beautiful

[joycelawrence]

Great video, Amy. Easy to follow demonstration. I ordered the lettuce knife and eager to try it. Unfortunately the green lettuce knife is unavailable on Amazon. I bought one of my daughter as a surprise gift. I am 81 years old and never heard of a lettuce knife until your video. Thank you for creating this video for all of us to learn from.

Hi Amy and Eric. I do the same with my lettuce too. I like to add a little fresh lemon juice as well. The salad spinners are also great for mixed greens in containers. I don't trust the triple wash quarantine so I soak them then spin them dry.

Everything looks so clean and brand new, my spinner has ageing from non-use and looks like a Smithsonian relic, I was waiting for this video for years...YouTube’s algorithm has caught up with me 8 years late.

Thanks Amy. Ordering products now. You guys are fun.

Great Video!
I bought a 5 gallon Salad Spinner from a restaurant going out of business, and I have a small lettuce keeper container

I only recently got that Oxo salad spinner. Don't know how I survived with lettuce without it! I don't have that salad container though. Normally, I just put the salad in an air tight glass container. The container is not that much, so I'll think about getting one or two.

Also, the salad spinner is like a fun toy.

So my cholesterol test was horrible and was told to eat more salad so your video couldn’t come at a more perfect time. I bought everything in the video so I couldn’t easily eat salad throughout the week. By the way the lettuce knife is freaking amazing.

[quiltsick]

Amy, I found if I spin it once & empty the water & spin again then it gets dryer. Love your channel!

[auroramendozaperry]

Thanks Amy! Why is it important not to overfill the bins? Does it make the lettuce fresher for a longer period?

[pointlesspencil]

I’m definitely getting one of those spinners! Loved the bloopers at the end 😂

[jeremymorrissette]

A restaurant i used to work for had me chop loads lettuce and put lettuce into a big bin filled with ice cold water, seal and placed into the walk in . Also they would cut up all thr celery and place in a container with cold water and a cover

[Mark-ivnp]

Hi, enjoyed the video. I'll be viewing more. Not sure what size Fresh Saver to get. I live alone. Appreciate yr opinion.

[dr.science]

Wow how unique way to keep lettuce fresh! I will surely use your idea! Keep making videos! You are my only hope for a better cook;

[whomeverwherever]

I’ve found tossing a dry paper towel on top of my lettuce, around carrots, celery, etc. when stored keeps them fresh longer.

[patriciabiegler]

What size are the containers you keep your lettuce in? TY

[colleenkaralee]

I love my lettuce wrap meals and I ran out of bowls so I took a one gallon plastic water jug, cut it in half, some water on the bottom, put in the romaine or iceberg lettuce, and cover with a small plastic bag and refrigerate. Works and takes up less space in the refrigerator, don't you think?
