Name: Wilted spinach salad
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 30 min
Ingredients: 6 cups spinach, washed,drained very well and torn into bite-size pieces; 1/4 cup sliced green onion; 3 hardboiled egg, coarsely chopped; 5 slices bacon, chopped; 1/4 cup vinegar; 2 tablespoons sugar; 2 tablespoons water; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/4 teaspoon pepper

I served this terrific salad to guests and it was a hit! Pour the hot dressing over the salad right before serving time. I found this recipe in an old Farm Journal cookbook. Cook time is for the time it takes to boil the eggs and fry the bacon.

Wilted spinach salad

green onion

egg,

bacon, chopped

vinegar

sugar

water

salt

pepper

Combine spinach, onions and eggs in a large salad bowl.

Cook bacon in skillet until crispy; remove bacon and drain on paper towels.

Pour off all but 3 tablespoons of bacon drippings.

Add vinegar, water, sugar, salt and pepper to bacon drippings, heat to boiling, stirring to blend.

This is it.  The real McCoy.  If you are looking for the traditional recipe, here it is.  This is delicious.  I don't bother with measuring out the drippings from the bacon.  I use it all.  It also works well if the spinach is at room temp when you pour on the hot dressing.  Some recipes indicate that you should heat the dressing in a large pan, then with the heat on stir in the spinach.  Don't do it.  The spinach will turn into something that looks like it came out of a can.  Follow the recipe.  It works.
