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.

3 Tablespoons sugar shopping list

1 Cup water shopping list
1 medium Head Leaf or Iceburg lettuce, Room Temperature shopping list

How to make it

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.)
Add water, sugar, salt and pepper to drippings and bring to a boil.
Add vinegar (to taste!) and cool mixture slightly.
When ready to serve, pour hot dressing over the lettuce leaves that have been torn into bite sized pieces.
Sprinkle with bacon and toss. (Just be sure that lettuce isn't cold!)

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!
