Lettuce Salad

Procure two fine, sound, medium heads fresh, crisp lettuce. Trim off the outer green leaves and stems. Cut the leaves in two. Plunge it into plenty of cold water, turn it over with the hands several times without pressing it, so that it will be entirely free of sand.

Drain it thoroughly in a wire salad basket or cloth, then place it in a salad bowl with the hearts on top, and just before serving season with four tablespoons dressing, Gently mix all over and serve.
