Mixed Vegetable Salad

Have you ever pierced a fork into a tossed mixed vegetable salad and instead of getting a delicious crunch, you end up with a mouth full of soggy greens? I don’t know about you, but when it happens to me, I immediately lose my appetite.

Fortunately, I collaborated with Kohl’s to get my hands on a handy kitchen tool. It’s a salad spinner that has saved me from the limp lettuce blues, and I now firmly believe that it’s an essential tool that should be in everyone’s kitchen!

Before you use a salad spinner, you want to gently rinse your salad greens off with water. Then place them into the spinner, insert the top and rotate the handle on top to spin the excess water from the greens.

I’m not kidding when I say that it’s a completely fun way to prepare a fresh, crispy vegetable salad like this one. You can use the spinner on any type of lettuce greens, so the next time I make my low carb cobb salad or my low carb rhubarb salad with blue cheese vinaigrette, you can bet that I’ll be spinning my way to deliciousness!
