Washing Up
I've been craving the Wilted Lettuce salad that my Polish aunts used to make (I think they got the idea from a German in-law).
They always had fresh leaf lettuce from the garden, while alas, I have store-bought.
I'll be halving this recipe, since it's just for my brother and me. We never had hard-boiled eggs on it, so I'll skip those. And I think I'll use chopped vidalia, instead of green onion. And I tear the lettuce right into individual bowls.
I'll serve it with lamb burgers and tomato-feta-basil salad.
