If we can learn anything from a rabbit, it's that you can never eat enough ruffage. It's true. So when I'm asked, "what's a good late night snack?" I respond: salad.
I know it's not always fast to whip up a salad, after all there's a lot of chopping involved, and we want our snacks quick and easy. So what I like to do is always keep a ready made salad on hand. I keep it stored directly in the salad spinner and placed in the refrigerator.
The spinner, by design, keeps the moisture away from the produce allowing it to stay fresh for up to 9 days. (Hopefully you will have eaten it all by then!)
Enjoy!
Weekly Dinners
Sunday- Tri Tip, Roasted Root Veggies, and above salad
Monday- Burritos w/ Sauteed veggies and topped with the above salad
Tuesday- Grilled Chicken Wraps (also using the above salad as a topper)

Do you get the picture? When you have a salad ready to go, you have an instant meal, side dish or snack.
Remember: Salad dressings are a downfall for many a salad. Make sure to make your own or simply use oil and vinegar. Penzey's Spice House also offers many great dry dressing bases that are free of mystery ingredients.

look tummy! can u give recipe to make delicious salad??
Oooh. Storing the salad right in the salad spinner! That's a great idea. I have a couple of expensive Tupperware pieces that keep salad greens fresh very well -- but none are quite large enough for a week's worth of salad. Will have to try the spinner trick!
Great idea...storing in the spinner!
