This hot bacon dressing is based on memories of the wilted leaf lettice salads my mother used to make. I also love this dressing on cobb salads, chef's salads and spinach salads.

My grandmother made this years ago...YUM!!


The family of a good friend of mine always made this for family gatherings and I had a craving for a wilted salad with this dressing a while back. I'm going to try this! Thanks.


Wonderful, my mom use to make this also, thanks for the recipe, I didn't have it for some reason, so I was surprised and thrilled to see it posted, I know it's good. Great post.
