Have you ever wanted to make a delicious chimichurri sauce for dinner using fresh herbs from your garden, but you can’t find your OXO Good Grips Salad Spinner because your kitchen-invasive husband has put it in the garage or–heaven forfend!–donated it to a charity garage sale because you haven’t used it in years? However will you dry those little parsley leaves? You don’t have little towels in that size!
Never fear: You likely have an emergency salad spinner right in your laundry room!
Running the herbs through your washing machine on delicate can easily wash and spin dry your herbs without you getting your hands wet!
But don’t add oil and vinegar to your washing machine! It will just wash out with the water.
Old washing machines without the child locks are the best, since you can just run the spin cycle.
Tip: Washing them with denim helps to unlock the scents and flavors that are a key to chimichurri.
