from Cousin Margot's recipe file: Wilted Lettuce Salad

Fill large bowl with washed and torn leaf lettuce.

Sprinkle with salt, and spoon over with sugar.

Then in a small saucepan, cook chopped bacon and diced onion. When done, add vinegar, about 1/2 cup. (Add a little water if it is too tart)

Bring to a boil, then pour over lettuce and mix well, immediately.

Serve.

Alterate way of serving wilted lettuce:

Heat half-n-half and sugar in saucepan. When hot but not boiling, pour over lettuce and mix well, immediately.
