This was excellent, only used a fraction of the bacon drippings and no eggs!

Excellent recipe. READ Carefully. The last 2 eggs/sauce mixture is added to bacon grease on burner and simmered. I simmered for much longer than 1 minute to get the sauce right (about 3min). The sauce turns out great and eggs are cooked.

Made this last night and will again in 2 days (for company). I really recommend reading the recipe through before starting. The egg added raw to the bacon grease took me by surprise. I had just read the ingred. and hard boiled them all. Also please note that this is written for 12 servings. Making it for 4 people was tricky by doable. Next time I will add more time to the eggs for hardboiling. Mine came out at soft boil which wasn't bad, but isn't for everyone. Also a tip: Use "old eggs-not as fresh" they're easier to peel. And you shouldn't cover the eggs as directed. By doing that it traps the sulfure and causes the egg yolk to develope the green ring around it.

This is pretty much the recipe my grandmother used when I was a child. However she did not use eggs in the dressing. This was the only way my dad would eat spinach. By the way, my grandmother was born in 1875 and this was the way her mother made this salad.

Great recipe but replace the bacon drippings with warmed olive oil and the vinegar with balsamic vinegar, cut the sugar to two tablespoons and add freshly crushed garlic. Proceed with the directions. You wont have a heavy greasy taste with the olive oil and it will be much healthier!

This is the first receipe I have found that tastes like I get in a big expensive restaurant. My boyfriend said he doesn't really like green lettuce and has always not eaten spinach when I cook it. But he cleaned the bowl!

The kids and I loved it. Hubby complained about being "meat deprived" because I served this as a meal. Guess what? He survived. It was so wonderful, great flavor.

This salad is deeeelish! I made it while on a camping trip three years ago and my husband's family still brings up how good it was. :)

I LOVE this salad! My picky husband loves it, too. We didn't use the boiled eggs on the salad, though. Instead we added almonds and cranberries. We are definitely going to make this again!

Great recipe -works nicely with or without eggs. Try some dried cranberries (craisins work well and are convenient) to add a bit of brightness.

Pretty greasy. After sitting a while (had it during Thanksgiving) you could see the fat from the bacon grease hardening and that was unattractive! Also, some had a hard time eating it knowing there was a raw egg in it. Will not make again.

This is one of my husband's favorites. If you are making it as a side dish, I would recommend serving it with a very light entree because everyone will want seconds on the salad!

Whenever I think of a wilted spinach salad - this is the one I want. Very good just the way it is, but you can change the ingredients to suit your own taste, as well. Excellent recipe.

I just made this salad tonight and it was FABBBBBULOUS!!!! My husband and finicky 6 yr old son even enjoyed it. I didn't follow the directions as far as the vinegar and sugar directly. I seasoned it to my own liking and it turned out GREAT!!!! I will certainly make this again.

Wonderful dressing and salad! I think I'll use less oil next time, just to save the calories, and add some water to keep the volume the same.

For the dressing I used white vinegar only and used half of what the recipe calls for cause I don't like the taste of vinegar too much and my family and guests loved it. I have been requested to make this dish again for family gatherings. It turned out really good and the dressing was a good sweetness. I
