How to keep greens fresh

greensClotilde over at Chocolate and Zucchini has a lovely spring-appropriate post about how to keep greens fresh. "Keeping one's greens fresh and happy seems to be the culinary equivalent of keeping one's skin young: it's a losing battle, but everyone hopes to find the magic technique," writes the ever-witty Parisienne.

Clotilde likes to rinse the greens several times, removes excess moisture with a salad spinner, lets them sit in the spinner to dry for 20 minutes, then stores them in a sealed plastic container lined with paper towels. Her blog commenters have chimed in with dozens of their own helpful tips. I'll try to remember this for next time, as I've just finished cleaning rotten spinach goop out of the crisper drawer again.

For salad greens, well... Um, learn to love cabbage? Seriously, that stuff holds up forever!
