Salad Box Storage

Every time I visit a friend for lunch I am asked, “Do you use these salad boxes for anything?” And I always say, “I have a ton, but thanks.” I love these boxes because they supply enough greens to last a week, and they’re made from post consumer waste. Plus, they’re see-through so if you store things in them you don’t have to label it.
Well here’s a post Christmas idea to put your salad box stash to good use. As I undecorated my tree, I put the ornaments into these boxes. Looks nice, huh? And now I can stack them up on my shelf in the basement and know what’s in here. They nest, too, which is extra useful for storage.
I save them too. I use them in the refrigerator for the lettuce I buy in full heads. I clean the lettuce, spin dry them and layer them with paper towels. One of the few times I use paper towels.
When I buy bulk cheese at wherever, I grate it and weigh it out to recipe amounts and package it. I place these in one of the plastic containers to keep track of those small packages of grated cheese.
I see I now,I’ll have to move them into my studio.
