Just like mom used to make, except she/I used apple cider vinegar, and definitely increase the amount of greens (I used baby spinach). Instead of sliced onions, I pulled green onions from my garden and added them fresh to the greens (not sauteed). The dressing was way too salty the first time I made it, so I decreased the amount to a rounded 1/4 teaspoon the next time. This dressing would also be great over arugula.

Nice taste, but this would NOT thicken on its own for me. I had to add cornstarch. Did you mean for the recipe to have some?

Loved it! I used a spring mix for the greens and did everything else the same and it turned out amazing! I only made half the servings since we never finish that much salad, but I should have made the full amount because it was yuuuummmy!

I brought this to a Christmas party and the best compliment is when you are asked to send the recipe to a couple of people...very good!

This is a delicious salad that my Pennsylvania Dutch family has been eating for years!

I made enough to serve 16 and only had a few forkfuls of salad leftover at the end. It was a HUGE HIT. Even the picky eaters enjoyed this (I was yelled at for throwing out the leftovers) I did make some changes to this recipe. First I used thick cut bacon. Then it says to reserve bacon grease, I felt that there was too much so I only saved some and added more vinegar than was called for, for flavor. I also added lightly toasted pecans. I used three bags of different mixed lettuces. Amazing!! Next time I will try to add some cheese and croutons. A definite MAKE AGAIN.

I just had a dressing like this in my favorite local restaurant! They served it over mixed baby greens with warm beets, goat's cheese and walnuts. I pretty much duplicated it at home with the dressing from this recipe. Yummy, yummy! In other words, it is versatile, and goes beyond just the green salad. I'm thinking it would be great over other veggies as well.

I followed the recipe as posted, but found it awfully sweet. I could not taste the bacon, nor the bacon fat...what a shame. Next time I will use at least half the directed amount of sugar.
