Lettuce Salad

Ingredients

• 1 head Lettuce
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
• 1 teaspoon Vinegar (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
• 1/4 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))

Instructions

1. 1Wash and drain the lettuce leaves thoroughly. Gently toss the leaves to remove all water.
2. 2Drizzle the lettuce with olive oil, a few drops at a time, tossing the leaves with a spoon and fork after each addition. When each leaf glistens with oil, add a few drops of vinegar, then dust with salt and freshly ground pepper.
3. 3If using straight-leaved lettuce or Romaine, you can cut the lettuce into ribbons. Wash the lettuce carefully, keeping the leaves attached to the stem. Fold the lettuce in half and cut into ribbons less than half an inch wide.
