In the Garden
Lettuce in the garden can wilt because of insufficient watering or due to root damage.
In the Refrigerator or in the Salad
Lettuce cells hold water, which makes it crisp. Picked lettuce will slowly wilt after picking as water leaves the plant cells.
Also most salad dressings contain salt or salt-based spices that change the
osmotic balance between the inside and outside of the lettuce cells. If the
dressing sits on the lettuce for too long before eating, the water will be drawn out.
