Basic Salad Mix (Salad Spinner)

1. 1

   Remove any brown or heavily wilted outer leaves from all three kinds of head of lettuce.

2. 2

   Fill a clean sink almost to the top with cold water. Add your red leaf and romaine lettuce.

3. 3

   With your radicchio lettuce you'll want to simply peel the leaves off one by one and add to the cold sink.

4. 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. 5

   Let sit for another 5-10 minutes so all of the dirt/sand/stuff settles to the bottom of the sink.

6. 6

   Remove lettuce(s) and rinse once more with fresh cold water from the tap before laying on paper towel.

7. 7

   Now simply break off pieces into decent bite size pieces and place in a large bowl.

8. 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. 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.
