Yorkshire Ploughman's Salad

Wash some lettuces, and dry them perfectly. Shred them finely, and toss them lightly in a sauce made as follows. Mix thoroughly a salt-spoonful of salt with an equal quantity of pepper, two table-spoonfuls of vinegar, and one of treacle. Add the sauce to the salad at the moment of serving. A bunch of chives or a handful of young onions may be introduced or not.
