How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining lettuce fresh, ensure the container is tightly closed after each use. Store it in the refrigerator, ideally in the crisper drawer. Avoid washing the lettuce until just before you plan to eat it to maintain its freshness and prevent wilting. Consume within a few days of opening for the best quality.
