Best Dressing For Garden Lettuce Recipes
LEAF LETTUCE SALAD
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...

Steps:
- 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 -- .

LETTUCE WITH CREAM DRESSING
"THIS IS one of my mom's original recipes. Though it is very simple to make this dressing, the sweet-sour combination plus the tang of the onion seems to convince people there is some secret ingredient. All my daughters now make this salad as standard fare in their homes."

CLASSIC WILTED LETTUCE SALAD
When we were kids, my sister and I would prepare the freshly picked lettuce for this wilted lettuce salad recipe, rinsing it several times and carefully drying it. As we did so, we quibbled about the portions we'd each have. Somehow, it seems she always managed to get more! We still can't get enough of this salad. -Doris Natvig, Jesup, Iowa
