Lettuce with Grandma’s cream and lemon dressing – The creamy classic for the family

1️⃣ Prepare the salad
Wash the leaves carefully, spin dry and tear into bite-sized pieces.

2️⃣ Make the dressing.
In a small bowl, combine the cream, sugar, salt, pepper, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Add a little more lemon juice to taste.

3️⃣ Serving
Pour the dressing over the salad just before serving to keep it crisp.

4️⃣ Refine
If desired, sprinkle with finely chopped chives for color and a subtle onion note.

❌ Avoid common mistakes
: Adding the dressing too early: The salad will collapse and become mushy.
Not enough acid: Otherwise, the dressing will taste too heavy – season with lemon instead.
Whipping the cream too hard: It should only be creamy, not stiff – otherwise it won’t combine well with the salad.
🔥 Grandma’s extra tip
🌱 This dressing also goes perfectly with finely sliced cucumber or crunchy radishes – a true all-rounder!
