But, that is not what goes slimy first, its that red and green leaf lettuce that goes slimy first and ruins the mix. I actually have started using arugula by itself more, I like the spiciness and it lasts a bit longer than spring mix or to mix with my go to, which is romaine because its got the crispness and can handle some time in the fridge
I do the metal bowl & aluminum foil trick for keeping lettuce fresh and it is not that great with the more tender and delicate lettuces. And all the red leaf ones are the first to slime.
