You can also typically extend the shelf-life of produce by giving it a vinegar wash. Produce naturally has mold spores which will bloom over time and cause rot. Vinegar is acidic enough to destroy most mold spores. So just give them a quick dunk in some white vinegar, then rinse in clean water. It’ll destroy the mold spores and extend the shelf life by preventing rot.
That’s good advice, but it won’t fix wilted lettuce, which happens very quickly in those salad kits. Honestly, just pulling leaves off a head of lettuce and chopping them up is going to help a lot more in terms of budgeting.
