You can truly taste the difference in your finished salad when your ingredients are farm fresh. Make sure you have removed all of the moisture from your salad greens after washing. Washed lettuce will usually last 2-3 days in the refrigerator if properly dried. Excess moisture is the reason the leaves wilt. The Silvermark Salad Dryer Bag is perfect for storing lettuce and other fresh produce. Most chopped salads do not last long once the ingredients are chopped. It is best to prepare the dressing and add-ins ahead of time. When you are ready to eat, simply assemble the ingredients, chop and serve. Go light on the dressing when you prepare your salad, and then serve the extra dressing on the side. A little dressing goes a long way once the ingredients are chopped. It will be easier to chop your salad if some of the denser food items (such as chicken breasts) are pre-sliced or cut down in size before adding to the salad mixture. With the Toss & Chop, you control the consistency of your chopped salads. Just stop chopping when you get the specific size you want. Some salads, such as the "Egg Salad with Watercress," are better more finely chopped and some are great coarsely chopped, such as the "Tuscan Country-Style Chopped Salad."
