WILTED LETTUCE

Wilted Lettuce

Although this calls for Romaine the event of spring was to take the first tender "leaf" lettuce  to make into a Wilted Lettuce salad.

4 hearts romaine, chopped
4 slices bacon
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Place romaine in a serving bowl. In a skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy. Remove bacon and crumble over greens. To the pan, add sugar and vinegar, and simmer until sugar is dissolved, scraping up bacon bits that cling to the bottom of the pan. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour hot dressing over greens and toss. Serve immediately.

NOTE. Hard Boiled Eggs or poached eggs are a wonderful addition.
