Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This is a sweet-sour dressing served warm. Mom cut this recipe from an unidentified publication and encased it in a plastic cover for protection. She made this dressing often in the spring when lettuce was ready, but I never saw her use a recipe. She may have discovered the same recipe she used for years and saved it for validation. Mom called it "wilted lettuce" and would add hard cooked eggs, onions from the garden and tomatoes if any were ripe before the lettuce gave out. It's good!!
