  • Minutes to Prepare:
  • Number of Servings: 20
Ingredients
1 bunch leaf lettuce 1 cup mayonnaise 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar3 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.
