Lettuce with Raspberry Dressing

We live out in the country on a small acreage with a big garden. Our daughter enjoys making different kinds of vinegar, and helping her to use them up is how this recipe came about. It always draws umm-umm-good reviews when I serve it at family potlucks6 ServingsPrep: 15 min. + chilling
