It will keep longer if you store it in the refrigerator in a paper bag instead of plastic.

Perk up soggy lettuce by adding lemon juice to a bowl of ice cold water, and soak the lettuce for 1 hour in the refrigerator.

Soggy lettuce can be fixed by dousing it quickly into hot, then ice water with a little apple cider vinegar added.

Lettuce will crisp up fast if you place it in a pan of cold water and add a few raw sliced potatoes.

A fresh head of lettuce won't brown as quickly if you remove the care before storing. Just hit the core sharply against the counter top and twist it out.

Lettuce will not "rust" as quickly if you place a paper towel or napkin in the storage container.
