It is actually better to tear lettuce than it is to cut it, especially if you want it to stay fresh. Cutting lettuce makes it turn brown and wilt faster then it does when you tear it. But if you do cut it use a sharp knife because that will keep the edges clean, instead of being ragged. Also the metal in the knife causes a reaction that will make it wilt and go bad.
