My Mom's sweet and creamy spring lettuce salad

This salad is the perfect thing to make with those earliest spring lettuces, but it works well with any type of lettuce. The creamy, tangy dressing is quick to stir up, too!
Prep Time15 minutes
Yield: 4

Materials

  • 1 cup heavy cream (half and half will work in a pinch)
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 large head of leaf lettuce, or 2 smaller ones
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 medium sweet onion, sliced and quartered

Instructions

  • Clean the lettuces and break into bite-size pieces.
  • Slice the onion and toss it with the lettuce.
  • Season the lettuce and onion with salt and pepper.
  • Whisk together heavy cream, sugar, and vinegar, whisking until mixture thickens a bit.
  • Pour about half the dressing over the lettuce and onion and toss well. Add more dressing, if needed, to make a creamy, well-dressed salad.
  • Serve immediately to inevitable sighs of delight!
