This would depend on what is in the salad, if you are going to prepare it and then refrigerate it, and if you leave the dressing off until you serve it. If the salad has cucumbers, tomatoes, or other vegetables that contain a lot of natural moisture, it can cause your lettuce to become limp. If you make the salad(s) then refrigerate, it will remain crisp and brightly colored. If you combine your dressing with the salad too far in advance, it will cause the lettuce to become limp, as well. Ideally, if all of these guidelines are followed, you can make it about a day ahead of time. Also, if you are cutting your own lettuce up, and aren't eating the salad immediately, you should TEAR the leaves, and NOT use a knife. The reaction with the knife and lettuce is what causes the brown edges on the leaves.

Yes, but keep it stored in the fridge in an airtight container and keep it fresh for the next day.

What are two ways to make sure salad looks and tastes and fresh and delicious?

Best thing to do is grow the produce yourself and pick it fresh in the early hours of the day. I grow at least 4 different varieties of lettuce for different colors and textures. Picking them early before the sun causes them to wilt helps. But if you pick them at mid-day, wash the leafs and put them in a bowl in the refrigerator ( covering them with a damp paper towel helps ) and they will crisp right up. So in answer to your question . . . Fresh, Clean, Crisp and Color ! Oh . . . and stay away from Iceburg Lettuce ! That stuff is crap ! Dark green and red lettuce is very attractive and nutritious !
