- Add lettuce to a large salad bowl.

Store leftover salad in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. Use an airtight container for storing.
If not eating all the salad at one meal, I recommend not adding the dressing to the salad before storing. Once the dressing is added the leftovers get soggy when stored.
