Lettuce with Grandma’s cream and lemon dressing – The creamy classic for the family

by

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1️⃣ Prep the lettuce
Gently wash the leaves, pat or spin them dry, and tear into bite-sized pieces.

2️⃣ Make the dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together the cream, sugar, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Taste and adjust—more lemon for brightness or a pinch more sugar to balance.

3️⃣ Serve it fresh
Toss the dressing with the lettuce just before serving to keep it crisp and vibrant.

4️⃣ Add the finishing touch
Sprinkle with chopped chives for a pop of color and a delicate oniony note.

❌ Avoid These Mistakes

  • Dressing too soon? → Soggy lettuce! Always dress right before eating.

  • Not tangy enough? → Add lemon juice gradually until perfectly balanced.

  • Over-whipped cream? → Keep it smooth and pourable, not stiff.

🌟 Grandma’s Pro Tip

This creamy lemon dressing isn’t just for lettuce! Try it with sliced cucumbers, radishes, or even as a dip for crunchy veggies—it’s a versatile crowd-pleaser.

Relive the tradition. Share the love. ♡
