So wait, are those large Ziploc bags or small Ziploc bags? In one pic the bags look like the larger sized ones but in the other they look like the smaller sized ones.

I shop at the same market! Love them. I also get inspired by the large selection of greens for salads. Great post so glad I came across this.

I have that same salad spinner and love it. If you have a kid around, let them spin and you will get some seriously dry greens! I also spin potatoes in mine before frying to make them extra crispy. Have even used it to spin out small laundry items I have had washed. Best kitchen gadget ever! Thanks for the post. I’m going to try the paper towel trick.

In reply to Aleah. It depends on the veggie you are adding to your salad. Cucumbers and sliced tomatoes will definitely make it soggy. Matchstick carrots, radishes, peppers and grape tomatoes will be a better option. You could always add a folded paper towel to the top of your salad in the container, then add the toppings on top to help keep the moisture under control. Let me know if you try this and it helps!

Hi, I’d like to be able to meal prep my salads for the week but it always seems like they’re soggy by day three. Any way to put the veggies in with the lettuce to save from using separate containers for every ingredient?

When I purchase spinach or lettuce in plastic containers I open them and put a clean dish towel to collect any moisture. Veggies last 3 to 4 weeks.
Also, I started using the cloth shopping bags that you can purchase at your grocery store and put my celery, kale, lettuce, mushrooms and carrots in those and put it on my frig door or vegetable keeper area. Works wonders. Keep my greens and veggies fresh and lasting.
