Lettuce Mayonnaise Salad

This is one of my favorite salads.  A bowl of hot soup and a plate of this salad can be my dinner on lazy evening. The only warning I can give is, that it is a little sour but don’t worry the flavor of the seasoning compensate it. Do try it, it’s easy and don’t forget to leave your comments.
