Wilted Lettuce Salad

This old time recipe was mentioned in the book "Little Heathens" by Mildred Kalish. This is my adaptation.

Quantity	Unit	Ingredient
		spring mix lettuce	washed and dried
		raw kohlrabi	peeled and diced
8	slices	bacon	fried and crumbled
3	Tablespoons	bacon fat
0.5	cup	water
4		green onions	chopped
1	Tablespoon	sugar
3	Tablespoons	apple cider vinegar

Pick, wash and dry a large bowl of spring mix lettuce. Add raw kohlrabi if desired.

In a skillet, fry about eight slices of bacon until crisp and brown.

Crumble bacon over the lettuce.

Pour the fat out of the skillet, leaving 3 Tablespoons in the pan.

Add the water, green onions, sugar, and vinegar to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a boil, all the while scraping the brown bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Pour the boiling mixture over the bacon, lettuce and kohlrabi.

Stir and serve immediately.
