CLASSIC WILTED LETTUCE SALAD



Classic Wilted Lettuce Salad image

When we were kids, my sister and I would prepare the freshly picked lettuce for this wilted lettuce salad recipe, rinsing it several times and carefully drying it. As we did so, we quibbled about the portions we'd each have. Somehow, it seems she always managed to get more! We still can't get enough of this salad. -Doris Natvig, Jesup, Iowa

GRANDMA RICHTER'S WILTED LETTUCE SALAD



Grandma Richter's Wilted Lettuce Salad image

Yummmm! This is a simple but delicious salad. The dressing really makes this salad - sweet and delicious. I've never had a dressing like this before ... I will definitely be taking this one to our next church dinner.

Provided by Cindi M Bauer

Categories     Other Salads

Number Of Ingredients 8

SALAD INGREDIENTS:
12 cups (8 oz.) romaine lettuce (see *note)
11 slices hickory smoked bacon, cooked and crumbled
2-1/2 tablespoons diced onion
CREAMY DRESSING INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, plus 2 tablespoons of the cream
1/4 cup sugar, plus 1 tablespoon
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, plus 1 tablespoon

Steps:

  • 1. Place salad ingredients into a very large bowl. (I put mine into a 13 cup size Tupperware bowl.)
  • 2. In another bowl, add the creamy dressing ingredients. Stir thoroughly to blend the ingredients together.
  • 3. Pour the creamy dressing, a little at a time, over the salad, and stir gently to combine.
  • 4. Once the creamy dressing has been completely mixed into the salad, serve the salad immediately.
  • 5. *Note: When making this salad, you can pretty much use any type of lettuce, but my daughter and I agree, we much prefer using romaine lettuce; picked fresh from ones garden, but you can use store bought lettuce, even the iceberg lettuce. Also, when adding the leaves to the bowl, I pretty much left the leaves whole, except for the leaves that were a bit too large, then I tore those in half.
