However, you should really dry the lettuce very well after washing. For this a salad spinner is suitable, or even a clean kitchen towel. This is beaten around the lettuce and then spun with all your might. ATTENTION: only spin outside or out of the window and of course never let go of the towel! Otherwise it rains optionally in the apartment or there is a salad rain!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a rule of thumb, the more tender the lettuce leaves, the sooner they should be eaten. An endive, on the other hand, keeps chopped, washed and dried for up to a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Endive (my winter favorite!)<\/li><li>Lollo bianco<\/li><li>Lollo rosso<\/li><li>Batavia<\/li><li>Iceberg lettuce (probably the crunchiest of all lettuces, but please don&#8217;t buy it wrapped in plastic)<\/li><li>Arugula (so nice and spicy &#8211; I love arugula)<\/li><li>Lamb&#8217;s lettuce ( autumn \/ winter lettuce)<\/li><li>Young spinach (also always important for green smoothies)<\/li><li>Lettuce (tender leaves last about 3 days in the fridge)<\/li><li>Asian lettuces (can be super easy sown on the windowsill in boxes)<\/li><li>Watercress (alternatively nurture a pot)<\/li><li>Posteleia<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/madewithaloha.de\/en\/blog\/2021\/06\/24\/washed-salads-always-ready-to-eat\/?tp_image_id=17722\" data-pin-title=\"Salat trocken schleudern\" data-pin-description=\"Salat trocken schleud: unerl\u00e4sslich beim Meal Prep\" src=\"https:\/\/madewithaloha.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tina-engel_food-photography_salad_meal_prep-4-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Salatschleuder mit Rucolla\" class=\"wp-image-17721\" srcset=\"https:\/\/madewithaloha.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tina-engel_food-photography_salad_meal_prep-4-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/madewithaloha.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tina-engel_food-photography_salad_meal_prep-4-800x1000.jpg 800w, https:\/\/madewithaloha.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tina-engel_food-photography_salad_meal_prep-4-640x800.jpg 640w, https:\/\/madewithaloha.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tina-engel_food-photography_salad_meal_prep-4-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/madewithaloha.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tina-engel_food-photography_salad_meal_prep-4-552x690.jpg 552w, https:\/\/madewithaloha.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tina-engel_food-photography_salad_meal_prep-4.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-steps-for-the-perfect-washed-and-cut-lettuce\">Steps for the perfect washed and cut lettuce:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Buy regional and seasonal products!
