## How to Cut a Head of Lettuce

2. Dry the lettuce. Use a salad spinner or paper towels to remove excess water from the leaves.

3. Cut the lettuce. There are a few different ways to cut lettuce. Here are two common methods:

- Wedge cut: Cut the lettuce in half lengthwise, then cut each half into wedges.

- Chop: Hold the lettuce in one hand and use a sharp kitchen knife to chop the leaves into small pieces.

4. Store the lettuce. Place the cut lettuce in a plastic bag or container and store in the refrigerator. Lettuce will stay fresh for a few days.
