Perhaps you need to prepare a salad for a party, or just for work the next day, but if you leave it in the fridge for several hours it’ll get soggy and gross. How-to illustrator Yumi Sakugawa points to a method that’ll solve this problem and allow you to store the salad safely for about 12 hours. Here’s what you do:
- Place the salad dressing at the bottom of the bowl.
- Add the hard vegetables (e.g. carrots) on top
- Add the soft vegetables and lettuce on top of that.
- Cover with a paper towel and store for up to 12 hours. When you’re ready to eat, just toss the salad.
It’s a pretty simple trick and doesn’t really take much more effort—you just need to arrange things differently and you’ll get a crispier meal.
