Sweet and Sour Salad Dressing

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.

I love these Le Tauci bowls with handles.

4 servings

• 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)

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.

• 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

serving
