Basic Salad Mix (salad Spinner)

Total Time: 25 mins Preparation Time: 25 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 2 heads romaine lettuce
• 1 head red leaf lettuce
• 1 head radicchio
• 3/4 cup carrot, grated (optional)

Recipe

• 1 remove any brown or heavily wilted outer leaves from all three kinds of head of lettuce.
• 2 fill a clean sink almost to the top with cold water. add your red leaf and romaine lettuce.
• 3 with your radicchio lettuce you'll want to simply peel the leaves off one by one and add to the cold sink.
• 4 let sit for 5 minutes. then gently shake the lettuce under the water to move the water through the leaves and losen debris.
• 5 let sit for another 5-10 minutes so all of the dirt/sand/stuff settles to the bottom of the sink.
• 6 remove lettuce(s) and rinse once more with fresh cold water from the tap before laying on paper towel.
• 7 now simply break off pieces into decent bite size pieces and place in a large bowl.
• 8 doing one batch at a time (i don't know how big your salad spinner is) use your salad spinner (i like to use a med size model with the hand pump at the top)to remove excess water.
• 9 once dried in spinner, toss in carrots and store in large gallon size plastic bags. store in the bottom crisper drawer in your fridge.
