1 egg
6 slices bacon
1/2 cup sliced onion
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup water
4 teaspoons white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 cups leaf lettuce - rinsed, dried and torn into bite-size pieces
8 radishes, thinly sliced
My husband loved this salad, the only thing I recommend is to make sure you pour the dressing on the lettuce right before you serve it or the lettuce will become too soggy. I think next time I might cool the dressing a bit more before tossing it with the lettuce, overall an interesting and good tasting salad.
Certainly different - an acquired taste I think. Not for us!

Very good hot bacon dressing. I used on top of baby spinach. I also halved the recipe for three people. It turned out perfect.
The dressing is PERFECT -- just the right touch of sweetness, not too vinegary. I'll definitely be making this again soon. Thanks very much.
I used the dressing for a spinach salad instead. I used turkey bacon to make it a little lighter. It was very good!
We all loved this over spinach salad but because bacon has enough of it's own sodium, I left out the salt entirely. Not something I would make very often, but once in a while, it's nice to indulge! Delicious and thank you!
Left out the egg. I always serve this with the lettuce cut in wedges instead of pieces. Also, try it with fresh spinach and strawberries (leaving out the radishes).
This is just like my Mom's - so kid friendly with the bacon that they'll even eat spinach! Actually, I prefer to make the dressing and serve it with Spinach (like a wilted Spinach Salad!).
