Wilted Lettuce

Source of Recipe

Shanny


List of Ingredients

1 large bowlful of leaf lettuce, torn up
3 or 4 sliced green onions, tops & all
bacon, cooked & crumbled

DRESSING:
1 well-beaten egg
3 tbsp. red wine vinegar
2 tbsp. sugar or sweetener
1/3 cup bacon drippings
salt & pepper to taste




Recipe

Toss lettuce, onions & bacon together.

Combine egg, vinegar and sugar/sweetener; slowly add hot bacon drippings, while whipping to create an emulsion, as you would in making hollandaise. Pour hot dressing over lettuce, salt & pepper to taste, toss lightly. You can do this without the egg, but the thicker dressing coats the greens better.

Re: dressing - if the hot grease doesn't thicken it, cook over medium heat, beating rapidly with whisk to complete cooking and thickening, but don't overcook.
