Daily DIY: Keep Your Salad Fresh in Your Lunch Box

I personally love bringing my lunch to work with me, and I try to eat up the leftovers in my fridge before I splurge and buy a meal.

In this video, Marge Perry, our cooking expert, gives you some tips about how to pack a salad for lunch.

You don't want to open your lunch-box in mid-stomach growl to a wilted or over-drenched salad. After watching this video, you'll be able to keep your lettuce fresh, your toppings crisp, and get just the right amount of dressing on it all!
