• Thoroughly rinse vegetables and/or fruit before cutting and adding to your salad. Water speeds spoilage/wilting of salads, so spin lettuce and vegetables in a salad spinner and/or pat dry with paper toweling.
• Add the salad dressing of your choice, then the layers of tasty ingredients. Shake together when ready to eat.
• Store salad in refrigerator at 40 F. For best quality, use within three to four days of preparation. If using meat, use salad within three days of preparation.
