Ingredients

1 bunch leaf lettuce, washed and patted dry

1/2 c heavy or whipping cream*

1/4 c cider vinegar*

1/4 c white sugar*

salt & pepper*

Directions

Place a layer of lettuce in bottom of serving bowl.

Sprinkle with a little of the cream.

Follow with a sprinkle of sugar, then vinegar.

Salt and pepper to taste.

Repeat with remaining ingreds. , as many layers as needed.

DO NOT stir.

Allow to sit in fridge for 30 minutes.

Toss and enjoy.
