Many of you born in the South probably remember wilted lettuce.  This is a sweeter,

 

 

slightly different version.  It's poured on the salad while it's hot, helping the flavors

 

 

meld together.

Ingredients

​

​

•  4 slices of bacon

​

•  2 Tbsp sugar

​

•  1 egg

​

•  Sea salt, just a pinch

​

•  1 Tbsp cider vinegar

​

•  1 Tbsp water

​

•  1 tsp butter

​

•  1-2 Tbsp finely diced onion (optional, I sauté in bacon fat for more flavor)​

​

​

​

​

​

​

Instructions

​

​

​1. Fry or bake the bacon, leaving the grease and bits in the pan.  Crumble

 

 

    the bacon.

​

​

2. Whisk together the remaining ingredients; add to the hot bacon and

 

 

    grease.

​

​

3. Cook and stir for several minutes on medium-low; pour over greens such

 

 

    as spinach or bib lettuce.

​

​

​

Tips & Options

 

 

•  Julienned onions that have been sauteed in the bacon fat are a great

 

 

    addition and adds more flavor to the dressing.

​

​

•  This dressing can be poured over a regular green salad.

​

​

•  I like to use the immersion blender to combine all the ingredients except for

 

 

   2 pieces of bacon that I crumble and add to the dressing right before
