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 -- .

SIMPLE RED LEAF SALAD
My daughter loves everything sour (vinegar and lemon in particular) so I made her this tart salad dressing with 2 types of vinegar and lemon juice. It goes great with red leaf lettuce or other mild salads. She will eat the whole bowl by herself.

18 TYPES OF LETTUCE AND WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH THEM
From tastingtable.com
- Loose-leaf. Loose-leaf lettuce is one of the most popular types of lettuce. It gets it name because the wavy-tipped leaves grow loosely from the stalk.
- Iceberg. Also known as crisphead, iceberg lettuce has round, firm heads with tightly-packed leaves. Varieties include Great Lakes, Maverick, Ithaca, Keeper, and Raider.
- Romaine. Quite different in shape and taste, romaine lettuce grows oblong leaves with wavy edges. The upper part of the leaves are mild, while the lower sections taste a bit bitter.
- Bibb. A type of butterhead lettuce, Bibb has a mild buttery flavor that almost melts in your mouth, according to The Spruce Eats. It also has a hint of sweetness, so you can pair it with blue cheese and pineapple for a tasty combination.
- Boston. Boston lettuce is a fluffier and larger type of Butterhead lettuce. It also goes by the name Tom Thumb and May Queen. One cup of Boston lettuce has almost half of the daily requirement of vitamin K and 10% of vitamin A and B9 (via Livestrong).
