Warm Bacon Spinach Salad

SUBMITTED BY: Patty Kile

"This was what the Pennsylvania Germans called 'wilted salad'. It was one of the first recipes I was taught to make. When the dressing is warm, I pour it over the greens and set it aside while I prepare the rest of the meal. The heat wilts the greens, which are still slightly warm when served. -Patty Kile, Greentown, Pennsylvania"
