Notes
The easiest way to wash greens is to fill a large sink or bowl with cold water. Add the greens to the water, ensuring they are a few inches above the bottom, and gently swirl them around in the water. Let the greens then site for a few minutes so that the sediment rinsed off from them can sink to the bottom.
