Ingredients
6
slices
bacon
8
cups
leaf lettuce
1
small sweet onion
¼
cup
apple cider vinegar
½
teaspoon
salt
4
Tablespoons
granulated sugar
2
Tablespoons
ketchup
optional
2
hard boiled eggs
Instructions
Thoroughly wash and dry lettuce leaves, use your salad spinner if you have one. Then place in a large salad bowl.
In a large skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Remove the slices of bacon to cool on a paper towel, but leave the warm bacon grease in the pan.
Thinly slice onion and cook in the bacon fat over low heat until it begins to soften.
Carefully stir in the vinegar, salt and sugar until the sugar dissolves. Add ketchup if you’d like (we like it both ways!)
Chop or crumble bacon and dice the hard boiled eggs and place in serving bowl with lettuce.
Pour warm bacon dressing over the salad and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
