Lettuce
A crispy, bright staple for making salads, putting on sandwiches, on tacos, in gyros, or bo ssam! Stock up on some good salad dressing base ingredients like olive oil, a couple types of vinegar, honey, mustard, soy sauce, lemons, etc. so you’ve always got salad as an easy meal option.
Storage
Store lettuce in a plastic bag, in the refrigerator. Best eaten within a few days but will keep for longer, up to a week. Please note that we typically don’t wash the salad greens we pack for you unless they’re very dirty, because they store better unwashed. If you choose to wash your salad greens, invest in a salad spinner so you can be sure to get them truly dry.
