Leaf Lettuce Salad

Total Time: 20 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 1 bunch leaf lettuce
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons vinegar (i prefer red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar)
• 3 tablespoons sugar

Recipe

• 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 -- .
