My tips and tricks:
The fresher the lettuce leaves, the tastier your salad will be. If you are not from Odessa, which means that you do not necessarily live near the bazaar, then it is important for you to learn how to store the lettuces correctly. I have tried many methods and have found that the best way is to wrap the lettuces in a kitchen paper, put them in a large plastic container and refrigerate. Of course, this should be done after you have washed and dried it on kitchen paper or in a handy gadget – a salad spinner.
