How do I keep a salad crispy in my lunch box without it getting soggy?

LO lobo_marta MX 📗 Student 👁 50 ⚑ Report Salads

I take my salad to work almost every day but it always arrives a mess. I've tried everything: packing it in a separate container, using romaine lettuce instead of iceberg, but it still wilts and the dressing soaks into everything. Is there any trick that actually works to keep it crispy until lunchtime?

Nah, romaine lettuce doesn't hold up any better than iceberg, trust me! The real trick is drying the leaves really well after you wash them (every last drop of water), storing them in a separate container with paper towels inside to absorb the moisture, and then mixing everything right before you eat, or better yet, bring the dressing in a separate container and add it at the last minute.
