Greens with Hot Bacon Dressing

“GROWING UP in a German community, I ate this salad often. It's an old traditional dish - I recall my grandmother talking about her mother making this recipe. As a variation, the 'old-timers' in my family enjoy cutting up some boiled potatoes on dinner plates, then serving the warm salad mixture on top of the potatoes. -Robert Enigk, Canastota, New York”

I thought the flavors of this were very good (how could they not be with so much bacon)?! I did not find it overly vinegary. I followed the directions exactly, but my dressing congealed on the salad a little bit even though my spinach was room temperature. Also, this probably isn't the best dish for picky eaters.

Great Recipe and a nice change for a salad dish. Pairs wonderfully with the Juicy Chicken Recipe.

This was alright. I thought it had a little too much of a vinegar taste though. My husband was skeptical at first, but once he tried itm he conceded that it was pretty good.

Perfect! I followed the instructions exactly, and everyone at my get-together raved about the dressing... Very good, very simple. You can make it ahead.. I cooked the bacon in the morning, diced it, and reserved the fat for later. It was fresh and delicious. I would definitely recommend this recipe and will make it again and again...

I enjoyed this with dandelion greens, celery, tomato, red onion, and avacado salad. It was super easy to make and not too salty or sweet.

Wonderful recipe!! Even the kids loved it! Make sure that your "greens" are room temperature. Serving over very cold salad can make the dressing thicken to a strange gelatin like consistency. I grew up in Wisconsin and this was often served over spinach. I've tried many Hot Bacon Dressing recipes and this one seems closest to what I remember as a child. Thank you for sharing this recipe!!
