For a few months I’ve been buying the 1 pound tubs of washed spring mix and try to have a salad every day. The main problem has been mixing the ingredients uniformly. I like to add tomato, red onion, cheese like feta or shaved parm, plus the dressing. If I try to mix it on the plate, half of it ends up on the floor. If I use one of those large bowls to mix everything, it’s something else to clean up every day.
Found a better way. I still have a few of the small tubs the salad comes in from when I didn’t eat that much of it. I throw everything into that and attach the snap on lid. Shake shake shake. Comes out perfectly mixed and no need for a separate serving plate. My question is about clean up.
After consumption, I rinse the tub and lid under hot water. It gets it pretty clean, but since some of the dressing is oil based, not perfectly clean. I store the rinsed tub in the fridge until I use it again the next day. Any problem with that routine? No harmful germs would grow on oil residue in the tub while in the refrigerator? Haven’t gotten sick yet as far as I know.
