My husband really liked it, me not so much. I thought the dressing was too bland and after it cooled the bacon grease got kind of thick and simply coated the greens. I probably will not make again.

Sorry but this was way too salty and I like salt! I even made this with spinach add it was still bad. I would recommend just doing a spinach salad with egg and bacon and then putting a balsamic vineger dressing on it.

I really loved this. I made it as directed, except I kept half the bacon out to sprinkle on at the end - AND I overcooked my hardboiled egg so I had to kill it. The caramelized onions and bacon with the vinegar are deeelicious. Thanks for the recipe

This is a great salad dressing. When my mom used to make it, she did not cook the onion in the dressing. Instead she cut up fresh spring onions with the lettuce or spinach. GREAT!! Thanks for the memories!!

WOW. I've been back and forth on this. I thought it looked good when I found the recipe. Then I made it and got a little weirded out before I ate it. 3 bowls later, I suppose it's pretty good. I gave a sample bite to "The Mr." and he liked it too. It didnt taste like the vinegar like I was worried it was gonna. It coats the lettuce nicely and gives it a bacon flavor. I used shredded sharp cheddar cheese, diced the egg up really small and put it over a spring salad mix. Really good, made for a nice lite lunch!!

I grew up in Pennsylvania Dutch area and this was a regular dish for us when ou Mom made pork chops and boiled potatoes quartered. Today, I still make this when we have pork chops, only do not add radishes. My husband from Pacific Northwest just loves. It's a keeper for us. by a BehlerBusyBee

Thank you, thank you, thank you! My mother used to fix this all the time. She claimed she got the recipe from her mother. She never wrote it down and I could never remember the measurements. This was a wonderful discovery.

This is an old fashioned wilted leaf salad. It does taste good, however. It's not a keeper, so add the dressing just before serving. Remember, the purpose of the hot dressing is to wilt the lettuce. Lettuce wedges won't do here. Eat it all or you'll have to throw it out after your meal. It won't keep.

This is like my grandmother's Wilted Lettuce Salad. I loved spring because she used her fresh leaf lettuce/green onions and radishes from her garden to make this salad - brings back good memories.

This is a good recipe, but it is too tart compared to restaurant hot bacon dressings as described. After making it several times I have started using 4 tablespoons of sugar instead of 4 teaspoons. This change and allowing it to simmer for at least 10 minutes makes a very good dressing.

This was very good. Made with red onions and sliced mushrooms. I made it ahead of time then wamed it up before pouring over. It would probably wilted the spinach more if the mushrooms weren't directly on top (my bad). I'm thinking the dressing would have been hotter right after making it also. Great taste!

This review is for the dressing only. I was looking for a dressing similar to one my mother made a couple of years ago for us. My mom couldn't find the cookbook so I came here hoping to find something similar. We loved it! It was so easy and delicious. I used it to dress a spinach salad with mushrooms, red bell pepper, feta cheese, and walnuts.

My fiance and I don't like creamy dressings, so we gave this a try and both loved it and were surprised that we enjoying eating salad! We've since used the dressing on other salads. Our favorite is a spinach and red leaf lettuce salad with lots of tomatoes and green onions.

really not fair for me to rate. I used turkey bacon which does not produce much grease. Don't make my mistake use real bacon.

Delicious! My mom used to make lettuce with hot bacon dressing all the time, but never added any other veggies. I liked it and I love this with the additions. I will make this again.
