Always wash the greens carefully, but never under running water as the force of the water will damage the leaves. Instead, place the leaves in a bowl filled with cold water and very gently move them around in the bowl. Let it soak for a few minutes, then gently lift out the greens, leaving the dirt and grit behind, and transfer them to another bowl. Change the water in the first bowl and keep washing the greens until there's no sand or grit left in the bottom of the bowl. Usually two washings is enough but very sandy or gritty greens may require three.
