Oma's Lettuce Salad with Sour Cream Dressing

Make this sour cream salad dressing flavored with dill or your favorite herb. Then pour it over lettuce for one of our traditional German spring salad recipes.

I use this for mixed salads, lettuce salads, even cucumber salads.

Servings:

Makes 4 servings

Ingredients:

• 1 head lettuce, washed
• 1 lemon
• 1½ cups sour cream
• sugar, salt, pepper
• 1 bunch of dill, chopped finely

Instructions:

1. Tear lettuce into bite-sized pieces.
2. Grate lemon before juicing it.
3. In a small bowl, mix the grated lemon peel, about 4 tablespoons lemon juice, sour cream, dill, and about 2 to 3 tablespoons sugar. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Pour dressing over salad, toss, and serve immediately.

Notes/Hints:

• Don't have a whole lemon? Use about 4 tablespoons lemon juice instead and omit the grated peel.
• Instead of sour cream, use plain or Greek yogurt.
• The above recipe is a variation of my north German cucumber salad dressing.
