I checked eHow and this is what they said:
Step 1. Take your lettuce and break it apart. Wash it and shake the excess water off the leaves.
Step 2. Now you need to wrap paper towels around the bundle of clean lettuce leaves and enclose them in a plastic bag. I used a plastic grocery bag and tied the handles closed.
Step 3. Place the bag of lettuce in your vegetable drawer in the refrigerator. It may take some time to freshen up the lettuce. I let mine stay that way overnight and it was perfect for my salad the next day!
Step 4. This is a great way to keep lettuce fresh longer too by storing it this way right after purchasing.
