The correct answer is that salad may be back on the menu, yet not immediately, water will move by the method known as osmosis, towards its so called "concentration gradient", wherein it will find its way into the lettuce's leaves, which will take time before it could revive the wilted lettuce back to its normal and crisp texture.
