How to make wonderful Dutch lettuce salad
Here’s a salad you’ll love – straight from Grandmother’s old-fashioned cookbook
By Margaret Gehlert
6 slices bacon
1 tablespoon flour
1 tablespoon sugar
½ cup water
½ cup vinegar
1 medium head lettuce
4 of 5 green onions
Cut well-seasoned bacon slices into small pieces with a sharp knife and place in frying pan. Fry slowly until bacon is crisp and brown. Drain.
Stir flour and sugar into the crisp bacon pieces and 2 tablespoons only of bacon fat. Stir over a low heat until the mixture is absolutely smooth.
Pour mixture of water and vinegar into the bacon paste. Lower heat, keep on stirring until dressing bubbles and becomes smooth and thick as syrup.
Pour bacon dressing, while still warm, over a salad bowl full of lettuce and chopped green onions or other favorite salad greens. Mix thoroughly.
