To keep romaine lettuce crisp and fresh, rinse it thoroughly and remove any damaged outer leaves. Wrap the lettuce in a clean paper towel or a loose plastic bag, and store it in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator. This helps maintain humidity and prevents wilting. For best results, use within 5-7 days.
