Lettuce Salad
Choose the crisp centre leaves of the head lettuce. Wash them, if necessary, and dry thoroughly and carefully with a soft towel. Break or tear the leaves into convenient pieces with a silver fork. Cover with a French dressing, turn the whole upside down to mix it well, and serve immediately. It is customary in this country to serve mayonnaise with lettuce salad, but after one has had a heavy dinner the simple French dressing is more refreshing.
