This is a family favorite, particularly on the Polish side.

That looks beautiful. I love warm salads of late.

Thanks, Fred.

My aunts had a TON of leaf lettuce in their garden every summer, so we had this just about every night.

No HB eggs in ours, but I bet they'd be good.

This sounds lovely and fresh and tasty too.

Lee I grew up on this too, but we always use spinach... Coming from a German background. We never had eggs with this salad, but using spinach instead of lettuce might make a difference. I could make a meal on this salad alone

That does look good. I always make a basic cold salad with only balsamic vinegar and olive oil. This should be a welcome change. I'll try it out this weekend and let you know. (Crossing my fingers.)
