The Power of a “Lettuce Knife”, the kitchen tool you never knew you needed.

It sounds ridiculous, but I strongly believe that all households should have a lettuce knife. This is an inexpensive but important tool that all kitchens should have. Many of my past clients can vouch for the fact that Dietitian Nikki always asks “Do you have a lettuce knife?” Now let me tell you why. A lettuce knife is a well made plastic serrated knife that will help keep your lettuce good for longer. When we cut lettuce with a metal knife, its going to ‘oxidize’ quicker, which is that pink discolored tint that we all know and loath seeing happen to our beautiful produce. If you change over to cutting your lettuce for salads with this new tool I have described, I can promise you its going to last a LOT LONGER!!

Pro-Tip: cut your lettuce at the beginning of your week using your knew lettuce knife, wash it really well, and then spin it with a salad spinner to get off the extra water. Pack it in a ziplock bag with a paper towel to continue to remove the moisture, and pop it in the fridge for an easy healthy veg to grab throughout the week. Having your veg ready and prepped for the week is a surefire way to set yourself up for success in your nutrition journey.
