Eat Your Greens

by Crystal Paine

For those of you like me who like to eat healthfully but find that it is sometimes hard to find the time to make up salads, here's what works well for us:

When we go to the store, we usually buy three large bunches of different types of salad greens. Upon arriving home, I wash all of the lettuce off, tear it, and put it in a big airtight bowl. Drain the leaves and seal the lid on tight. Then, I can put together a simple salad every night in a matter of a couple minutes. I'll just add some tomatoes or cucumbers, croutons, cheese, and some dressing. Or, if I'm really pressed for time, we can just have plain mixed greens.

I also have been packing salads for my husband to take in his lunch. I usually wouldn't have the time to put together a nice big salad for him, but when it's almost finished and waiting in the refrigerator, it's very easy to do! He loves it, and I'm glad to make him a nutritious lunch.
