Why does salad dressing wilt lettuce?

Salad dressing can wilt lettuce primarily due to its acidity and salt content. Acids, like vinegar or lemon juice, can break down the cell walls of the lettuce, while salt draws out moisture, leading to a loss of crispness. When these components are combined, they create an environment that causes the lettuce to lose its freshness and become limp. To prevent wilting, it's best to add dressing just before serving.
