How to Store Lettuce
Unwashed lettuce may be stored in a plastic bag in the refrigerator. To store lettuce that you have already washed and dried, roll the leaves loosely in a kitchen towel, put the towel in a plastic bag, and place the package in the vegetable crisper. (Wet greens will spoil quickly so make sure they are truly dry before refrigerating.) If you have a salad spinner, wash and spin the greens before refrigerating them. Use lettuce within a week.
