Salad Making Tips

Canned Beans

If you are watching your salt intake, rinse canned beans before using, as the liquid they are packed in often contains quite a bit of salt.

Storing Greens

Rinse and dry greens before storing. Place dried greens in plastic bag or airtight containers. Properly stored they will last from several days to several weeks, depending on the type of green.
