Leaf Lettuce Salad

- Ready In:
- 20mins
- Ingredients:
- 4
- Serves:
-
4-6
ingredients
- 1 bunch leaf lettuce
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons vinegar (I prefer red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar)
- 3 tablespoons sugar
directions
- Put the Mayonnaise, Vinegar and Sugar into a bowl and stir until mixed --
- Place in the refrigerator to allow the ingredients to blend and to allow time for the sugar to dissolve --
- Remove the individual leaves from the main plant -- Do not cut, pull them apart --
- Rinse each leaf under cold water and shake excess water off the leaves --
- Remove the tender portion of the leaf from the stalk and discard the stalk --
- 'Tear' leaves into whatever size you think will fit into your mouth --
- This is enough dressing for about half a large bunch of lettuce -- Remaining lettuce can be stored in the refrigerater, covered, for use tomorrow --
- 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) --
- 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 -- .

Where has this refreshing, SUPER easy simply perfect salad been all my life? 5 stars for easy, 5 stars for flavor, 5 stars for so few ingredients and 5 stars for the sentimentality of it being from your childhood. A TOTAL keeper and will be in my regular salad rotation. My kids are now going to grow up with it too. Thank you SO much for sharing it with us!
