Open the bag or container and remove the desired amount of lettuce. Since it is pre-washed, it is ready to use directly from the package. For salads, combine with your favorite vegetables, proteins, and dressing. It can also be layered into sandwiches and wraps for added crunch and freshness. Ensure any unused lettuce is properly stored to maintain its quality for future use. Avoid overcrowding when tossing with dressing to prevent wilting.
