How to Use a Salad Spinner

Fruits and vegetables should be incorporated into your diet every day and in every meal. Use a salad spinner to help clean the items in your salad.

Instructions

1. Chop your veggies and fruits before you use the salad spinner.

2. Take the strainer out of the salad spinner. This is the sieve like plastic contraption that the salad sits inside.

3. Put your chopped salad inside the strainer. Make sure you have all of your toppings and lettuce in the strainer, and try not to over pack it.

4. Run water over the salad inside the strainer until it is thoroughly washed.

5. Place the strainer back into the salad spinner. Make sure the lid is on tight.

6. Start the spinning motion of the salad spinner. Give it about 10 to 15 seconds so that the spinner removes any excess water from your salad. Transfer the salad to a plate or bowl. Now, you can put on any croutons, cheese or other toppings that don't need to be washed.

7. Store washed salad in the salad strainer for future meals. Use a salad spinner for immediate salad creations, or keep the washed salad in the refrigerator for 24 to 36 hours.
