WEDNESDAY, JULY 31 Red Bluff 3A How to keep lettuce fresh for weeks Some tips that land in my email box are instantly recognizable as winners. But some leave me wondering, will that really work? Today's first tip falls into the category, forcing me to test it out. Just to be sure. And guess what? It really does work. I don't know why, but it does. Try it! LETTUCE TRICK. I take a fresh head of lettuce, core it, wash and dry it thoroughly, then tear off chunks that will fit inside a quartsize Ziploc bag. Wrap the chunks tightly in paper towels, place in the storage bag, and seal tightly, mashing all of the air out of the bag while zipping shut. I keep several quart-size bags of lettuce in my produce bin for weeks at a time with no browning or wilting. It really works! -- Carolyn, email DIY RANCH DRESSING.
