I keep a container of that in the fridge, and always give it a quick whirl in the blender before dressing the salad, so the oil and vinegar don't separate. Our other favorite is a sweet & sour hot bacon dressing.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-31982710536045775592011-04-27T18:30:50.443-07:002011-04-27T18:30:50.443-07:00Looks pretty awesome, now to think of a good dress...Looks pretty awesome, now to think of a good dressing :)chopinandmysaucepanhttp://chopinandmysaucepan.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-86451129737698859172011-04-26T20:38:00.778-07:002011-04-26T20:38:00.778-07:00Dan, it became one of my favorites the year you se...Dan, it became one of my favorites the year you sent me the seeds.

I have been stealing a large leaf or two occassionally to dress up a hamburger for dinner but have not had enough to do a lettuce salad (yet). I noticed this evening though that the combination of some milder temps and the sunshine we had on Saturday were like a shot of tonic to all the greens - particularly the lettuce bed.kitsapFGhttp://www.modernvictorygarden.com/apps/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-32344428343514140022011-04-25T20:33:49.623-07:002011-04-25T20:33:49.623-07:00Wonderful lettuce harvest!
