How do you keep salad fresh for a week?

If you don't have a salad spinner or don't have enough room in your refrigerator for keeping one in it, just grab a plastic storage container large enough to fit the salad greens. Line it with paper towels, wash and dry the greens, dump them inside, seal the lid, and throw it in the refrigerator.

Why does my salad get soggy in the fridge?
