My Salad Is More Crisp When I use Key Largo Traders Salad Spinner





   I love salad and eat it often when I go out to eat. I don't make much salad at home because my lettuce always wilts in the fridge after I wash it. I have found a product that solves that problem. I have no more soggy lettuce with my new salad spinner. My new salad spinner is made by Key Largo Traders and has a large 4 1/2 quart bowl. This salad spinner is so easy to use too. I just wash my lettuce and place in the bowl. I place the lid on the bowl which has a locking handle. Then push the handle down to spin all the water off my lettuce. I love that there is a button that instantly stops the spinning. The inside basket even doubles as a colander and the clear acrylic bowl looks great to serve the salad in. I can even store my lettuce in the fridge in the bowl as the lid locks close. How cool is that.

  I love that I can keep my lettuce crisp with this large 4 1/2 quart salad spinner. It hold twice the amount of lettuce compared to other spinners on the market. I will now start eating more salad now that I can spin the excess water out of my lettuce. The lettuce tastes so much better when the excess water is removed. When I store my lettuce in the fridge, it no longer wilts and lasts so much longer. This works great with spinach too! I made a wonderful spinach salad with my salad spinner.

I love my salad spinner and usually use it after gardening. After I bring my herbs in, it's a great way to wash them and keep them fresh!! Love the post!

I really want a salad spinner, but to use it for art projects, We used one at the Children's museum and the kids loved it.

I agree, when you make sure your salad is completely dry it tastes better and it looks better longer. I love the recipe you have shared as well. Adding cranberries to anything just perks it up!

I have always wanted a salad spinner because I also eat a lot of salad and hate throwing it out. This looks like the perfect model!

This looks like something that's REALLY nice to have for preparing salads - soggy salads are the worst!
