How to Make a Simple Salad

Salads can take time to prepare with all of the mess created from cutting and dicing EVERYTHING. Why not make a simple salad, in less than 5 minutes, that lasts for a week in your refrigerator? Here are a few tips to follow for that simple summer salad that is sure to please!

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• salad shears
• lettuce of different varieties
• tomatoes
• shredded carrots
• cucumbers
• Clear Fresh Food keeper
• knife

1. Pour lettuce leaves or a bag of mixed spring greens into your fresh food keeper. The keepers can be purchased from anywhere that sells RubberMaid brand storage containers or from Sharper Image. Keepers usually have a removable gridded basket/shelf at the bottom of the keeper.
2. Salad Shears Use salad shears or designated food scissors to randomly cut the lettuce. This makes clean-up easy when all you have to do is rinse the shears and store.
3. Slice or dice cucumbers and tomatoes. Place on top of cut leafy greens.
4. Sprinkle store-bought shredded carrots over the mix.
5. Shake up the keeper so that your greens get mixed. Serve in salad bowls and add your favorite dressing.
6. Voila! A simple summer salad with little mess CAN take less than 5 minutes.
