After you have rinsed, spun and drained your lettuce in your salad spinner. Keep the lettuce in the spinner with the lid on in the fridge until you are ready to toss and serve. The spinner will act like a mini crisper, keeping your lettuce cold and crisp.

The only problem is that the spinners are so HUGE! I need a bigger fridge for this tip.
I do that every time I make a salad. It works great!
What type of spinner do you have? I'm not happy with mine.
Great tip! I also learned that if you over dress your salad, you can put it in the spinner and poor the dressing back into the bottle! Nice eh?
i have a small salad spinner from OXO and I love it. We also sometimes use it as a colander for small batches of pasta.
Such a good idea. I need a better salad spinner. I've been buying the store bought salad mixes and I need to stop, as they're so much more expensive. I know if I had a better spinner, I'd actually use it.
