get real cold water and place them in it for a few seconds. then easily swish them a round to wash them..them place them on paper towels and gently pat dry..unless you have a machine that spins the salad. that's about it

A bit of salt and baking soda in cold water soak for about 5 min. and agitate them around a bit, rinse and serve. The salt and baking soda tend to assist in releasing dirt and bacteria.

wash in water and repeat a few times, or until you see all dirt off.

Lots of water, and you can use some vinegar (it kills bacteria).

If the greens are loose, fill the sink up w/ cold water...place the greens into the sink and gently swirl them around for a few mins. Take them out and place them into a colander and gently let water run over them.... . Gently shake the colander and transfer the greens to paper towels. Take more paper towels and gently pat them dry.
