Should You Wash Pre-Washed lettuce?
I must admit that when it comes to preparing salads, I am one lazy princess! The mere thought of preparing salad greens and drying them with a salad spinner exhausts me, so I usually resort to buying pre-washed, packaged greens. The convenience is too irresistible when you're busy and pressed for time. My pre-packaged lettuces of choice are Olivia’s Organic and Earthbound Farms Organic Spring Mixes.
Since I’m already divulging secrets about my laziness in the kitchen, let me also divulge that I’ve been suffering from a chronic fear of poisoning myself, my family, and friends because I never wash those pre-packaged salad greens prior to serving. After all, the packages do say they are triple-washed, don’t they? I've been feeling guilty about concerned about it and now that I've confessed, I really don't feel any better! By the way, hand-scrubbing before handling is part of my routine.
Do you re-wash packaged lettuce that says it's been washed---sometimes triple-washed?
