The effect of inserting 3 toothpicks into the stem of lettuce
Although it has many health benefits, this vegetable has a disadvantage that it is easy to wilt. However, each time we buy it, we cannot buy a little, but have to buy a fairly large quantity. Therefore, "prolonging the life span" of lettuce is something that makes many housewives have a headache.
Vegetables are delicious and clean, but "can't be eaten in time to wilt" like this, do you have to buy a bigger refrigerator? But don't worry, the tips for preserving lettuce below sound a bit "strange" but are extremely useful.
You just need to use 3 sharp toothpicks, then stick them deep into the lettuce stem. Note that you stick them deep, leaving only the tip. Just like that, you can preserve the lettuce for a week. You can apply this method to cabbage as well.
How to make mixed lettuce salad
Step 1: Prepare the ingredients
First, wash the cucumbers you bought directly under the tap, and rub them with your hands to remove all the remaining dirt on the surface, and drain. Then, cut them in half lengthwise, then continue to cut them diagonally.

Finally, wash the cherry tomatoes with clean water, drain, and cut them into small pieces.
Step 2: Mix the salad
After preparing the ingredients, take a bowl and add 1 lettuce, 1 cucumber, 4 cherry tomatoes, 200gr of fresh seaweed, 1 teaspoon of sesame sauce and 1 teaspoon of mayonnaise.
Step 3: Finished product
The salad is not too greasy, and has fresh lettuce mixed with soft tomatoes, crispy cucumbers, and especially a little sour and fatty. Oh, it's absolutely wonderful!
