A mild and tangy dressing is required for garden lettuce. You now have access to the ideal dressing that my grandmother possessed.

I was very skeptical when I read the ingredients to this recipe, but I was pleasantly surprised at how good it is! I normally don’t keep evaporated milk on hand, but I looked up substitutes and used half-and-half which I always keep on hand for coffee creamer. It turned out excellent, my husband really enjoyed it as well!
Thank you so much for this recipe ! My mom used to make it when we had fresh leaf lettuce from the garden .I’ve tried making it but never could get the ratio right .Thanks for restoring a treasured recipe and memory !
Although I thought it was good, hubby thought it was too tangy. I would probably add less vinegar the next time I made it. I made this again but added about 1/4 cup of mayo. And it was just right for us.
Was not for us. Tasted like milk, vinegar, and sugar. Maybe try it with rice vinegar?
I love how easy this is with super simple ingredients. Almost a buttermilk flavor and with all this lettuce, one I’ll do over again. Great timing. Thanks for sharing cooks4forty!
