You can also rotate greens instead of trying to put four different things in the salad at once. Buy endive and dandelion one week, then escarole and bok choy when that runs out. Still get all the good nutrition, just not all at once.

I don't mix one big salad. I only tear off leaves from the bunch the day that I use them. The longer they can stay as whole as possible, the longer they will last. Depending on the type of green, I'll usually wrap the bunch in paper towel, then keep it in its plastic bag in the crisper. Dandelions, I tie the top of the bag shut to keep them from getting limp. You want enough moisture to keep them from getting dry or limp, but not so much that they start to rot. With dandelion (separate leaves, not all on one stalk), I pull out any as soon as they show signs of decaying - they rot faster if they're next to other rot.
