A Recipe for keeping Lettuce Fresh and Crisp

"Where her secrets never have to remain a secret..."

Do you buy lettuce at the store with the intention of making salads, forget about it and then find a wilted mess in your refrigerator a week later?

Mom says, "place a metal fork inside a bowl of water with your wilted lettuce and in a matter of minutes your lettuce will be as good as new...fresh and crisp and ready to be eaten."

Here are some ideas for green salad additions:

sunflower seeds
pecans
walnuts
pine nuts
sliced almonds
crumbled blue cheese
crumbled feta
goat cheese
shredded sharp cheddar
crumbled bacon
chopped ham
shredded or chopped cooked chicken or turkey

tuna

carrots (chopped or shredded)

radishes

mushrooms

cherry tomatoes

red onion

cucumber

fresh broccoli or cauliflower

avocado

olives

fresh herbs

chopped apple

strawberries

orange pieces

raisins

cranberries
