DUTCH LETTUCE DRESSING



Dutch Lettuce Dressing image

At our recent family reunion, my grandmother prepared a salad with this dressing. A Little tangy and quite addictive. The recipe came from a clipping in an Indianapolis newspaper. I halved the recipe for the salad I was making last night, but next time I will quarter it, a little goes a long way. Delicious none the less!
