I make 6 to 7 salads at one time and mine last anywhere from 10 to 14 days, but then I'm only one. I take my containers and put in the onions, tomatoes, and beans on the bottom and then the lettuce on top. Then before closing the container I put in a double layer of paper towel and then close the container. The paper towel catches the moisture that turns the lettuce to mush hence the lettuce stays crisp. Then all I have to add when I'm ready to eat them is the dressing. Wrapping your lettuce in a paper towel and changing it as you go along might accomplish the same thing. You can also buy a lettuce keeper which would probably cost less than $10 . . . that too might work.chocolite wrote: ↑Thu Jan 27, 2022 1:47 pm Jackie, I have a question. I'd really like to go to every other week grocery shopping, but for the produce... How do you keep fresh produce on hand? My DH likes bananas and even in a green bag they're sometimes too ripe in a week. And salads -- do you have a storage tip on keeping salad greens/bell peppers, etc. good for two weeks?
As far as any other produce I use fresh the first week and then switch to frozen veggies. Fruit on the other hand I have no clue other than to freeze it and bananas don't freeze well in my opinion.
