Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Lettuce at its best! I used several varieties of tender lettuce plus a little romaine for some crunch. Made the delicious dressing with sour cream as I didn't have creme fraiche on hand. I think plain yogurt would work as well. Recipe calls for juice of half a lemon. I had Meyer lemons on hand so used the juice of a whole Meyer lemon as they're much smaller than Eurekas.

    Simple and easy but very nice cream dressing.
