This version came straight from Pennsylvania Dutch country and as far as I know has remained, unchanged for generations. I have never thrown out one morsel of this salad.

Ingredients
  • 4 Slices Bacon, Diced
  • 3 Tablespoons Cider Vinegar
  • 3 Tablespoons Sugar
  • Salt And Pepper To Taste
  • 1 Cup Water
  • 1 medium Head Leaf or Iceburg Lettuce, Room Temperature

Directions
  1. Fry bacon and drain, reserving bacon fat. (Its quick to just slice some hunks of bacon off the end of the package, then it's already diced.)
  2. Add water, sugar, salt and pepper to drippings and bring to a boil.
  3. Add vinegar (to taste!) and cool mixture slightly.
  4. When ready to serve, pour hot dressing over the lettuce leaves that have been torn into bite sized pieces.
  5. Sprinkle with bacon and toss. (Just be sure that lettuce isn't cold!)

Momma used make something similar, called Killed Salad. Love this stuff.


This is the one my dad used to make.


Love this stuff.


We use to have this at home as I was growing up, it's so good, you have my 5 on this one. Thanks for the memories.


Now I found your recipe - slightly different measurements, but basically the same salad...just goes to show there are soooo many small variations to this wonderful wilted salad. I think it must have been a summer "staple" of the earlier generations that relied on their garden produce - good, good stuff...and you're right - you never throw away ANY of this salad when it's served...it's just eaten until it's gone!

Add three sliced green onions, (tops and all), to drippings and cook slightly before adding vinegar.
