Lettuce with Hot Bacon Dressing
Here is a salad recipe that is a little different. Years ago, a friend gave it to me. I hope you enjoy it.

Put an egg in a pan and pour cold water over it.

Boil the water, cover it, turn off the heat, and let the egg stand in the hot water for 10 to 12 minutes.

Peel and chop after removing from hot water.

To cook the bacon, use a big, deep skillet.

Cook until evenly browned on a medium-high heat setting.

Drain the crumble and reserve it.

Save any extra grease.

Cooking onions in a skillet with reserved grease will result in tender onions.

Salt, sugar, and bacon vinegar are added.

Once boiling, stir.

You should put lettuce in a big bowl.

Pour hot dressing over, then thoroughly toss.

Add an egg and radishes as garnish.
