Wilted Lettuce

This is an old recipe that my family has used for many generations. Who knows it may just show up on the dinner table for Thanksgiving


Take a large bunch of leafy lettuce. Shred loosely in large bowl. Sprinkle salt over. In frying pan, fry quartered strips of bacon - just crisp. Then add 1/4 cup vinegar, 2 tablespoons sugar and 3/4 cup water. Bring to a roaring boil and quickly pour over lettuce, stir quickly and cover until wilted. Garnish with sliced green onions and radishes.

  2. My grandma loved wilted/cooked lettuce. It's very frugal, too. Thank you for participating in Vintage Recipe Thursday.
