2 Tbsp melted bacon grease
2 Tbsp vinegar
1 Tbsp sugar
SALAD INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 qt shredded lettuce (you can use leaf or bib) also used are spinach leaves or garden greens of almost anykind. wild greens can also be used if you normally use those
3 chopped green onions
1 or 2 slice cooked bacon, crumbled or chopped (optional)
salt and pepper to taste and any other season you prefer
chopped boiled eggs and other normal salad ingredients you may prefer also after the dressing has been poured atop the salad ingredients

Steps:

1. Either using bacon just fried up (OR) saved bacon grease from your crock. Heat dressing ingedients (bacon grease, sugar & vinegar) to boil point atop the stove.
2. Heat to boiling point and pour over 1 1/2 quarts shredded lettuce, 3 green onions, chopped and bacon crumbles (if you prefer). Add salt and pepper to taste. Toss to mix.
3. Serve at once, otherwise you get grease globs atop your lettuce, onion and bacon.
4. NOTE: This is copied as written, so for the 1 1/2 Quarts of shredded lettuce, spinach or greens, you will just have to 'eyeball' it or try to measure out in a quart jar. Just sharing as written out, play around with this, change up ingredients for salad, etc. Make it your own and enjoy! Thanks, Diana
