German Lettuce Salad with Grapes: Oma's Kopfsalat mit Weintrauben

• ½ small red onion, sliced
• 1 head lettuce, torn into pieces
• 1 red apple, quartered, cored, thinly sliced
• ¼ pound cheese, thinly sliced and broken into bits (preferably Emmental)
• 4 tablespoons white wine vinegar
• 5 tablespoons olive oil
• salt, pepper, sugar

Instructions:

1. In serving bowl, mix vinegar, oil, salt, pepper, and sugar to make salad dressing.
2. Add all the other ingredients and toss gently.
3. Serve immediately.
