Keeping lettuce fresh

[Namechanger1002]

I am so fed up of buying an iceberg lettuce and it going off after a couple of days. Such a waste. I don’t have a salad drawer in my fridge so what can I do to preferably keeping it fresh for 4-5 days or is it impossible?

My salad spinner is here! Do I spin tomatoes and cucumber and onion in it?

no.
wash cucumber/peppers/tomatos before chopping and pat dry

try using pumpkin seed oil in the dressing. Absolutely the best!

Ooh thank you both!

I've just stumbled on this thread....for the lettuce washing, spinning, storage...are you cutting/peeling the leaves off first before washing and spinning? I guess you couldn't spin a whole lettuce!
I like mind finely shredded....would it be best to peel leaves off if the whole leave to wash/spin/store... or should this method work if I finely shred, wash, spin?

Keeping lettuce fresh? Cut a bit off the bottom and put the newly cut bottom into cold water in a basin that stands on the cold pantry floor. Put, I think, a piece of coal into the water.

I always feel guilty about not eating enough salad. Some of the earlier ideas were really good - thank you for them.
