Nutritional value of ingredients: 75 (Calories)

Main ingredient: one head of lettuce, one household water basin

Method/Steps

Select. First, we need to pick the lettuce, removing the rotten, yellow, and insect-bitten parts.

Cut. Cut the lettuce into appropriate sizes according to our needs.

Wash. We need to wash the lettuce with clean water until there is no sand or impurities, then lift it out and drain it dry.

Soak in clean water, soak the picked lettuce in sufficient clean water for 10 minutes, then lift it out and drain it dry. This will remove pesticide residues on the lettuce, and if there are hidden insects in the lettuce, they will also be removed, making it healthier for the body.

Soak in ice water. Soaking in ice water makes lettuce crisp and refreshing, and if you put two slices in your toast in the morning, it is really delicious. If the vegetables for salad are soaked in ice water, they will be even more refreshing, so ice water soaking is a magic weapon to make salad tastier.

Storage. It is also very important to know how to store vegetables, otherwise they will lose moisture and dry out quickly. You can seal and refrigerate them in the refrigerator with cling film, or place some ice packs under the vegetables for refrigeration.
