Make Your Own Bagged Salad And Avoid Preservatives
With bathing suit season right around the corner, I’m sure there are a lot of people eating salads to get ready for the warmer weather, so I thought this might be a great time to repost my very first Simple SolutionsDiva.com video, how to Make Your Own Bagged Salad. Bagged salads at the store are so easy, but they do have to use preservatives to keep the salad fresh until you buy it. This is a great way to avoid the preservatives and still have the convenience of bagged salad ready to eat in the fridge!
