“Salad dressing is just lettuce gravy”

Is salad dressing just lettuce gravy? “Cooks coined new word for salad dressing…‘lettuce gravy’ I don’t know about that one…” was cited on Twitter on February 25, 2011. “I have heard some regions of Arkansas refer to salad dressing as ‘lettuce gravy’” was cited on Twitter on June 15, 2011.
 
American comedian and author Jim Gaffigan popularized the line in 2014. “Salad dressing is just lettuce gravy” was a popular tweet on May 28, 2014. Gaffigan wrote in the book Food: A Love Story (2014):
   
“Salad dressing is lettuce gravy. It’s there to mask the inadequacies.”
   
“Salad dressing is just leaf sauce” and “Salad dressing is just lettuce sauce” are related sayings.

@PhilBacharach I have heard some regions of Arkansas refer to salad dressing as “lettuce gravy.” Is cream or brown still a choice?

I don’t even like lettuce on a cheeseburger. I need salad dressing. Without a heavy dose of salad dressing I feel like I’m eating a bag of yard work. Salad dressing is lettuce gravy. It’s there to mask the inadequacies.
