Creamy Lettuce Salad

“Round out the fast feast with quick-to-fix Creamy Lettuce Salad. 'This recipe is a family favorite I recall my mom serving often when I was growing up,' relates Jacquie Troutman of Zephyrhills, Florida. 'She particularly liked it because it was so easy to make and called for things she usually had on hand.' A sweet dressing tops packaged salad greens that are dressed up with hard-cooked eggs, tomato and onion.”

I love almost any leafy salad with the addition of hard-cooked eggs, so this recipe was a winner for me. Homemade dressing is ALWAYS a plus and I really liked the flavor of this one! I added some cracked black pepper to the dressing for a little zip and I threw in some chopped cucumber & chopped red bell pepper to get more veggies into my lunch. :) The salad colors are fabulous and I recommend layering the ingredients as opposed to tossing them to keep it colorful and pretty. Thank you so much for a fabulous salad! Will be enjoying this one again and again. :)

Yummy! I took this salad to a family get-together this past weekend. I made a huge roasting pan full of it and it was gone within an hour. Everyone loved it and was grateful for the healthier option. The vinegar isn't overpowering and gives it just the right amount of "wang". I'm dieting (again...) so this will become a meal staple for me. I'm going to try light mayo, truvia and 1% milk for the dressing to help reduce calories and fat. Thanks Beverly for the recipe!

This salad was easy and delicious! I brought it to our holiday potluck at work, figuring we needed something a bit healthier, and it was a big hit! One small change: I subbed some iceberg lettuce (which I prefer) for some of the the packaged greens.

Simple and tasty and I had all the ingredients on hand - it doesn't get much better than that!! I personally love the dressing, but only one other family member chose to use it - the others used bottled dressing. I have made this twice and will certainly make it again.

One of my favorite salads. Definately at the top of my favorite "homemade" dressings.

I thought this was very good. I made it for a family get together and it was well received by everyone. I'm going to make it again tonight and I might add some bacon bits for some excitement!

Good old fashioned lettuce salad. I liked making my own homemade dressing. This had a sweet dressing, it wasn't sour like I thought it was going to be with the cider vinegar at all. I used Miracle Whip to make this. Not a strong flavor, mellow, but quite tasty with the eggs and tomatoes. This was a really nice change from our regular salad with bottled ranch dressing. Would have been awesome with bacon added in as well. Nothing gourmet, but definitely worth a try. (Update: I've made this a couple of times already adding bacon the 2nd time, it's definitely a keeper. Beautiful presentation too!)
