How can I properly store lettuce in the fridge to ensure it stays fresh for longer?

To properly store lettuce in the fridge and keep it fresh for longer, you should first wash and dry the leaves thoroughly. Then, wrap the lettuce in a paper towel and place it in a resealable plastic bag with some air inside. Store the bag in the crisper drawer of the fridge. This method helps to maintain the crispness and freshness of the lettuce for a longer period.
