A lot of green!

I found a great tip that truly works on Pinterest - canning lettuce!!
We eat a lot of salads in this house and lettuce only stays fresh after washing & cutting for a couple of days.
I found a site that showed me this idea & it has changed my salad prepping ways!
I cut & wash about 6-9 hearts of romaine lettuce & then let it air dry about 30 mins.
Pack it all into quart canning jars and suck all the air out with my FoodSaver.
My lettuce lasts TWO WHOLE WEEKS - seriously love this tip!
 You do need a jar attachment for this to work-
 Just put the rings on and pop them in the fridge! Yummy crisp lettuce ready to mix into a salad :)
I've only tried it with romaine - not sure how other lettuces would work
