Below is a simple framework you can try this week. Keep it flexible—consistency beats perfection.

Quick takeaways

  • Washed greens are used greens.
  • A simple storage setup keeps them crisp.
  • Make greens the default side, not a special project.

How to try it

  1. Rinse and spin greens right after you bring them home.
  2. Wrap in a clean towel and store in a container.
  3. Add to bowls, eggs, soups, or sandwiches as a final step.

Make it easier

  • If greens wilt, sauté them with garlic and oil.
  • Mix sturdy and tender greens for better texture.
  • Keep a “greens night” once a week to use what’s left.

Optional shopping list

  • salad spinner (helpful)
  • storage container
  • paper towels or cloth towel
  • olive oil
  • garlic or herbs
