I own salad spinners, but I prefer to dry my greens by rolling them up in a terry cloth towel. Obviously, Jill Visit, an entrepreneur from Austin, Tex., is of like mind: She has created the Salad Sling, a 30-inch triple-layer square of absorbent Kelly green fabric. Gather up your washed greens in the sling, grasp the handles in the corners and, holding it closed like a knapsack, swing it around vigorously so the moisture on the leaves gets wicked off and settles into the fabric. It works quite well, though I found that a second swing is sometimes needed. The fabric is easily rinsed and is machine washable and dryable.
Salad Sling, $19.99, saladsling.com.
