How to Make Amish Endive Or Spinach Salad

1. **Prepare the Greens:** Wash 1 pound of endive or spinach leaves thoroughly. Chop or tear them into 1-inch pieces.
2. **Wilt the Greens:** Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the chopped greens and cook for 5-10 minutes, or until wilted but still slightly crisp. Drain well, pressing out excess water.
3. **Make the Hot Bacon Dressing:** Cook 4 slices of bacon until crispy. Remove bacon and crumble, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings.
4. **Whisk Dressing Ingredients:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 1 large egg, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons of white vinegar, and 1/4 cup of water until smooth.
5. **Combine and Cook:** Pour the egg mixture into the reserved bacon drippings in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
6. **Stir in Bacon:** Remove from heat and stir in the crumbled bacon.
7. **Assemble the Salad:** Gently toss the wilted greens with the hot bacon dressing.
8. **Garnish and Serve:** Top with 2 hard-boiled eggs, sliced. Serve immediately and enjoy!
