Sometimes the simple things are the best...Another one of the recipes that I grew up with way back when... If you don't grow your own, you can get leaf lettuce at a produce stand, a farmer's market or many grocery stores carry it... Ingredients:
1 bunch leaf lettuce |
1 cup mayonnaise |
2 tablespoons vinegar (i prefer red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar) |
3 tablespoons sugar |
Directions:
1. Put the Mayonnaise, Vinegar and Sugar into a bowl and stir until mixed -
2. Place in the refrigerator to allow the ingredients to blend and to allow time for the sugar to dissolve -
3. Remove the individual leaves from the main plant - Do not cut, pull them apart -
4. Rinse each leaf under cold water and shake excess water off the leaves -
5. Remove the tender portion of the leaf from the stalk and discard the stalk -
6. 'Tear' leaves into whatever size you think will fit into your mouth -
7. This is enough dressing for about half a large bunch of lettuce - Remaining lettuce can be stored in the refrigerater, covered, for use tomorrow -
8. Start by tossing a third or so of the lettuce with the dressing and add lettuce until the lettuce is coated well with the dressing - (you don't want a pool of sauce in the bottom of the bowl but you want the lettuce well coated) -
9. This is best if the lettuce is mixed with the dressing just prior to eating - The flavor won't change but the lettuce tends to get soggy after about an hour after mixed with the dressing - .
