I agree with you about iceberg lettuce, and I am always trying to advise people not to get it, as it is purely empty. Hm interesting, I have never heard that leaves turn brown faster if you use a metal knife... very interesting. I shall have to buy a salad spinner, its worth the money I can see, for longer freshness! -Randy This seems like a healthy (and cheap) way to eat all week!

If you’re looking to cut back come dinner time, consider cutting back on some of the pasta or rice and throw in an occasional salad. Again, even if you do this just a couple times a week you will begin to create healthy habits that will lead to a healthier you over time. I’ve struggled with working salads into our dinner menu here at our house, so that’s why I put together this visual guide to help you prepare a salad that stays fresh all week.
