grandma's secret
After Grandma washed her salad greens, she always thoroughly dried them before storing. When they were dry, she loosely wrapped them in paper towels and placed them in a resealable plastic food storage bag. She carefully removed all of the air and placed the sealed bag in the crisper drawer of the refrigerator.
