GRANDMA'S WILTED LETTUCE WITH HOT BACON DRESSING



Grandma's Wilted Lettuce with Hot Bacon Dressing image

When my Grandma Hallie passed in 1984, I mourned MANY things about this wonderful woman. But it wasn't until the next spring, when leaf lettuce came up, that I realized I had never asked her how to make Wilted Lettuce. Over the next 30 years, I would try one recipe after another, but none of them were quite right until a lovely...

Provided by Fran Miller

Categories     Salads

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

FOR HOT BACON DRESSING:
3 slice bacon
1/4 c sugar
1 Tbsp flour
1/2 tsp salt
dash black pepper
1/3 c apple cider vinegar
3 Tbsp water
FOR WILTED LETTUCE
large bowlful of leaf lettuce
some chopped onion
2 hardboiled eggs, optional

Steps:

  • 1. If you are making Wilted Lettuce, put the eggs on to cook, then wash the leaf lettuce carefully. I remove all hard parts, like the spine, of the leaves. Put the leaves in a salad spinner to remove the excess water, or allow the leaves to drain in a colander lined with paper towels. Chop some onion and set aside. When the eggs have cooked about 15 minutes in boiling water, drain the water, and refill the pan with cool water to allow the eggs to cool. Assemble the lettuce leaves and chopped onion in a large salad bowl. Chop the eggs and set aside. THEN prepare the Hot Bacon Dressing.
  • 2. Fry the diced bacon until crispy, then remove the bacon to a paper towel to drain. Reserve about 1 1/2 Tablespoons of bacon grease in the skillet and remove the rest.
  • 3. While the diced bacon is frying, stir together the sugar, flour, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  • 4. Add the sugar mixture to the 1 1/2 Tablespoons of hot bacon grease, cooking over medium heat and stirring.
  • 5. Add the vinegar and water and stir constantly, bringing it to a boil. Boil about 2 minutes, until slightly thickened. (If too thick, add a little water.)
  • 6. Remove from heat and cool until warm. Pour over lettuce & onion, tossing the salad until coated and wilted. (The hotter the dressing, the more it will wilt. Your call.) Top with the chopped hardboiled eggs and crispy diced bacon. Dinner is served! =^..^=

Categories     Vegetable

Time 25m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 bunches green leaf lettuce (or an equal amount of garden lettuce if you should be so lucky!)
1 bunch green onion, tops only, sliced small
1 lb bacon, diced, fried crisp, and drained
1 cup cream or 1 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar

Steps:

  • Cut up lettuce and onion tops, place in a large bowl.
  • Place bacon on top of lettuce.
  • Have all the rest of the ingredients ready, because this goes quickly!
  • Pour out all but 3T. of the bacon grease.
  • Set the skillet on medium heat and add the cream, salt and sugar.
  • From this point you will be whisking constantly.
  • Heat the cream until it begins to steam - don't let it bubble.
  • Add the vinegar slowly, whisking constantly until the mixture begins to steam.
  • Pour the mixture over the lettuce, toss and serve immediatly.
  • Make sure you have some good bread to soak up the leftover juices - trust me, folks will fight for the last drops!
  • Note: All the whisking is to keep the dressing from "breaking", or separating. If it does, no problem. It's not as pretty, but it still tastes fabulous.

WILTED LETTUCE AND ONIONS



Wilted Lettuce and Onions image

This is an Appalachian spring rite of passage. I've used Splenda to try to help with sugar control, and add olive oil to try to lighten it up a bit. I'm also had this with lettuce, dandelion greens and plantin from the yard. Usually this or ramps are the first greens hill folk would have in the spring of the year. Match it with...
