Loose leaf salad
Loose leaf lettuce (also called leaf lettuce) varieties are those
lettuces that do not form a compact head. Their flavor tends to
be mild and sweet. Most home gardeners who grow lettuce
raise the loose leaf type. Loose leaf lettuce typically is one of
the firs and last offerings at Farmers’ Markets.
The sweet, tangy taste of this apple cider vinegar dressing is a perfect compliment .
Ingredients:
2 cups of green loose leaf lettuce (measured after leaves have been torn into pieces)
Possible add-ins:

2 teaspoons mild-flavored vegetable oil, such as canola oil
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sugar
