While iceberg has very little nutritional value, it is the only green my kids will readily eat with little complaint. So when I make a salad for the family, I mix iceberg with romaine and whatever other green we find that looks good/fresh. Because my kids see the iceberg there, they will readily eat the salad with their favorite toppings, seemingly unaware of the other much more healthy greens in the salad. A tip for those with kids….

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!

Tip about keeping cukes, carrots, etc. in separate containers to add later is a good one too! We like "big" salads.

They're well designed and sturdy. And even when my children figured out how to break mine, the company sent me new parts fast and free. Fantastic! -Awesome post.

I love salads, but some lunchtimes I feel lazy and don't want to go through all the prep work (especially during the winter), but doing this about once a week, as you mentioned, would ensure that I'd have my daily salad all year long : ).

I stopped making them myself for lunch since I couldn't keep the lettuce fresh and it was a waste of money. I buy a pre-made one every day which is sooo expensive too. I will try your method of putting in the paper towel with the lettuce. Thanks for sharing. I stopped making them myself for lunch since I couldn’t keep the lettuce fresh and it was a waste of money.
