How much does one cup of salad greens weigh?

It's impossible to give an exact weight for one cup of salad greens. Here's why:

* Density: Different types of salad greens have different densities. Romaine lettuce is denser than spinach, for example.

* Packing: How tightly you pack the greens into the cup makes a big difference.

* Washing: Washing the greens can add weight.

General Estimates:

* Loosely packed: A cup of loosely packed salad greens might weigh around 2-3 ounces.

* Tightly packed: A cup of tightly packed salad greens could weigh around 4-5 ounces.

For Accurate Measurement:

* Weigh your greens: The most accurate way is to weigh your greens after washing and draining them.

* Use a kitchen scale: A digital kitchen scale will give you the most precise measurement.

Remember: Recipes often give a volume measurement for salad greens. If you're working with a recipe, it's best to follow the instructions unless you have a specific reason to use a weight measurement.
