How can I keep cut lettuce fresh in a small fridge?

Our answer

Dry leaves completely, wrap loosely in a clean paper towel and use a ventilated produce box away from the fridge's cold rear wall.

Why this approach makes sense

The useful decision is usually the storage temperature, container or time since preparation, not a special gadget.

Before you try it

If food shows signs of spoilage or has not been kept at a safe temperature, do not try to rescue it with extra seasoning or heating.
