Quickly wash and tear Romaine lettuce for a salad

My quick and easy salad prep using Romaine lettuce!

Video taken by my 6-year-old. A very realistic look into my life as well... hadn't done anything to my hair (yet), and my two-minute video gets interrupted by a knock at the door! :) No wonder I need to be fast with lettuce! ;)

Really appreciate the additional advice. Feel ready now to tackle a bunch of Romaine! Looks like I'll be eating lots more salad from now on. Thanks so much for this video!

@bg1060 You're welcome! :)

looks like a real time-saver. Nothing like the ordeal I've always gone thru by separating, washing, then salad-spinning all leaves separately. Excited to try this method --just hope it cleans as well as video purports, and doesn't leave leaves too wet, after everything, to go in a salad. BG

@bg1060 I think this method cleans well enough for lettuce that isn't super dirty. Garden-fresh lettuce that's been through a few rain storms would require more washing, for sure! ;)

This method does leave the lettuce slightly wet (instead of dry, like a good salad spinner would) but I think it's fine for use in a salad within ~24 hours or so. To keep the lettuce much longer, I would recommend doing what I show in the video and then spinning the salad. Romaine will keep a long time that way!
