How to Keep Your Greens Fresh for the Perfect Salad

Ever had a bunch of leafy greens in your fridge that looked a little too wilted to serve? Don’t toss them just yet! Here’s a simple yet effective trick to bring your overstocked greens back to life—perfect for crafting a refreshing salad at Lucid Cafe Bali or in your own kitchen.

The Ice Bath Trick

To revive wilted greens like lettuce, baby romaine, and frisée, simply:

1. Fill a bowl with cold water (bonus points if you add rock ice).
2. Submerge your greens and let them soak for about 15 minutes.
3. Watch as they crisp up, returning to their fresh, crunchy state.
4. Drain and dry before tossing them into your favorite salad!

This trick restores the greens’ natural crispness, ensuring they’re vibrant and full of flavor—just the way a delicious brunch or lunch salad should be. At Lucid Cafe Bali, we always serve the freshest ingredients, and now you can too!

Why It Works

When greens start to wilt, they’ve lost moisture. The ice bath rehydrates them, helping the cell walls firm up, making them crisp and appetizing again—no food waste, just freshness!

So next time you’re in Jimbaran, stop by Lucid Cafe Bali for a delicious salad, a hearty brunch, or a premium cup of kopi (coffee). And if you’re at home, try this simple hack to elevate your own salad game!
