granny sandy's simple salad
Growing up, every Sunday after church, the whole extended family would gather at our house where Granny Sandy (my Mama) would fry up chicken with all the fixins. One of the fixins was often this simple, tasty salad that easily takes the place of a traditional coleslaw.

How To Make granny sandy's simple salad
-
Step 1Clean the lettuce and core it, then either tear or shred it into strips or bite-sized pieces; place in salad bowl.
-
Step 2Dice onion into very small pieces and add to lettuce.
-
Step 3Cut cheddar cheese into very small cubes(do not shred) and add to lettuce.
-
Step 4In a separate small bowl, mix salad dressing, salt, pepper, vinegar and sugar. Mix well until sugar is dissolved and dressing is smooth and creamy.
-
Step 5Refrigerate both bowls. Right before serving, add dressing to lettuce and toss well. If salad appears a little "dry", make a little more dressing and add, as required.
-
Step 6NOTE: If you just can't bring yourself to use Miracle Whip, then substitute mayonnaise, but add an extra tablespoon of sugar.
