Romaine Salad

Sorry no picture, but it is just a salad. I just wanted to share a couple tips about storing lettuce that I've learned through trail and error. Now, I've read that when you buy lettuce, you don't wash it until you're going to use it, and keep it in the crisper. In a perfect world, I'll always be able to keep my lettuce in the crisper, but the reality is that I have a lot of veggies in my fridge and a head of romaine takes up about half of my crisper drawer. So it stays on the shelf. To keep my lettuce fresh while sitting on the refrigerator shelf, I give it a quick rinse, wrap it in 1 paper towel, put it in an open food/bread bag and make sure it's near the front since the back of my fridge gets really cold and freezes food sometimes. Sometimes I get lazy and just put it in a bag, and then I have really limp lettuce. To remedy that, I do what I should have done in the first place, then wait a day or two. Then it's all good.
