Tried 'n' True: Recipe a little hard to make, but worth it

By Jackie Lindley
Special to the Tribune-Star

TERRE HAUTE My family loves wilted lettuce.

We always have so much fresh lettuce on hand, we have to give it away.

My dad always loved his mother-in-law’s dressing.

Mother always tried to make it but dad would say, “it’s not like your mom’s.”

I have tried to copy the recipe and this is a close second.

It isn’t hard to make. If you want, use head lettuce instead.

Wilted Lettuce Dressing

4 slices bacon, cut up

1/4 cup vinegar

1 beaten egg

1/8 cup water

1/4 cup sugar

• Fry bacon. Combine remaining ingredients. Add to bacon and heat just to boiling, stirring frequently. Pour warm dressing over 2 or 3 cups lettuce or 1 head just before serving.
