This makes removing the core easier. Run cold water where the core was. The water will run all through the lettuce. Turn the core side down to drain. Store in a plastic bag or lettuce container.

You can find them at home accessory stores. Basically, they are a bowl with a colander inside and a plunger. The cut up lettuce goes in; you run rinse water over it, life the colander out, drain the water, then press the plunger to spin the excess water off. Best thing I ever bought! Buy a salad spinner!
