Ingredients

  • 1 cup vinegar
  • 1 head lettuce
  • water

Instructions

  1. Remove all the lettuce leaves, and place them in a big bowl or salad spinner.
  2. Pour 1 cup of vinegar in the bowl or spinner and fill the rest with water.
  3. Gently mix the lettuce, water, and vinegar around and let it soak for a few minutes.
  4. Drain the vinegar-water solution, and rinse the lettuce thoroughly in water.
  5. Spin dry if using a salad spinner. If not, transfer the lettuce to a colander and shake off excess water.
  6. Lay out and air dry the lettuce on a clean counter, dish towel, or paper towels until completely dry.
  7. Place the lettuce in a gallon plastic zip-top bag along with a paper towel.
  8. Squeeze all the air out of the bag and refrigerate.
