Why do restaurant salads taste so much better than any salad I try to make at home, even if I use the restaurant’s dressing?

Freshness and exectution I belive are the 2 biggest factors imo.
Freshness some one already mentioned produce from restaurants is just better from the supplyer very true. And to add a extra tip if you have black pepper, lemon or parmesan in the recipie make sure there freshly cracked pepper corns, freshly squeezed lemons and freshly shaved parmigian.
Also the restaurants sauce they sell to match there salad won’t be as good cause I guarentee you the difference is the bottle has the pepper lemmon or parm already in it while when they server it they make it without and keep those as fresh finishing touches.
Execution is key as well restaurants want to server you as quick as possible so they have lots of things on the ready. Lettuce being the most important one fresh cut washed and dried in the fridge again the air in the fridge is dry and dries out the leaves further and brown paper towels is king. Chilled plate another good trick keeps the lettuce colder when it gets to the table.
