How to Crisp Iceberg Lettuce
- Number of Servings: 6
Ingredients
1 head iceberg lettuce, cored, washed* and shaken dry ¼ cup of vinegar preferably cider
Shop for a nice heavy feeling tightly packed head of lettuce at your local super market. Unwrap the lettuce and discard the cellophane.
After opening the lettuce, find the core on the bottom and slam it upon a counter top and the core will pop right out. Peel off the outer leaves and discard any outer yellowing leaves. Place the lettuce into a large bowl of cold water and rinse, then drain. Do this a couple of times. Fill the bowl with cold water and add ¼ cup of vinegar, begin to swish the lettuce in the vinegar and water solution.
The vinegar will remove some of the microbials (a bacterium that causes disease) and will dry any slimy mucus and crisp the lettuce. Drain and rinse again with plain cold water. Finally, drain the lettuce on a clean dry paper towels. Pat dry then refrigerate in a bowl with a lid. In about one hour, you will have crunchy, crisp, fabulous lettuce. Ready to eat and enjoy.
STORE IN REFRIGERATOR AND IT LASTS ABOUT THREE OR FOUR DAYS IF KEPT SEALED AND COLD.
