Having collected a harvest of fresh greens at your dacha or from your windowsill, or having bought them in a store, the most important thing that remains is to wash the plants from sand and other dirt.
While such problems rarely occur with dill, with larger, leafier greens this is more the rule than the exception.
Having prepared a salad from fresh vegetables and greens or having served arugula or lettuce whole, you can ruin the impression after you start crunching sand on your teeth.
Experienced cooks have long since solved this problem for themselves, and it is not at all necessary to pour water from the tap in cubic meters for this.
How to Wash Leafy Greens
Take a bowl or saucepan of suitable volume and fill it with enough water.
Then add 2-3 teaspoons of table salt, stir and place the greens in the salt solution.
After 15-20 minutes, all that remains is to shake the bunch well and thoroughly rinse the vegetation under running water.
After this, you won’t have to worry about grains of sand or other debris getting lost somewhere among the leaves.
