This is one of my husbands favorite dishes.


My recipe for wilted lettuce (been in the family for at least 150 years) is very similar to this. This one is Pennsylvania Dutch/German/Swiss for sure. The secret is that there are equal parts sugar and cider vinegar. Iceberg lettuce works very well as long as it is room temperature to start.
