    Vinegar Dressing for Bitter Lettuce (or Vinegar Sugar Dressing) is terrific over freshly picked lettuce.

    Vinegar Sugar Dressing 

    What dressing do you put over bitter lettuce? My mom always used this vinegar and sugar dressing. It's a simple salad dressing that takes just a couple minutes to make. Only four ingredients. And it's vegan.

    You can use white vinegar or apple cider vinegar. I usually use white vinegar. Mix in the sugar, and add the salt and pepper. When I use turbinado sugar, I warm the vinegar dressing for 30 seconds in my microwave; it helps the sugar dissolve. Whisk to make sure it is well combined.
