Save Wilted Lettuce

 

It happens... life gets a little crazy and the lettuce is still sitting in the crisper day after day.... eventually looking less than it's best.

 

Don't throw out that sad looking lettuce, give it a nice ice-water bath for 5 minutes (make sure it's fully submerge), then pat dry.

 

This is often enough to shock the leaves back into shape so that you can use it!

 

 

Washing and drying your lettuce, then slice off the stem.

Wrap your lettuce head in a towel or paper towel - will help to absorb any moisture, so that the head of lettuce will stay fresh for longer.

Place the wrapped head of lettuce in a ziplock bag or sealed container (this stop it drying out and going limp early), and store in the fridge for up to two weeks.
