7 Ways to Make Fresh Produce Last Longer-Salad Greens

Wash salad greens in several changes of lightly salted cool water (fill sink with water, add greens, and slosh gently up and down so dirt and grit sink to the bottom). Spin greens dry in a salad spinner, then layer with paper toweling in large plastic zipper bags, keeping different types of greens separate, and refrigerate. Maximum storage time is 1 week.
