How to Make Wilted Lettuce And Spinach

  1. Cook 4 slices of bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon and set aside, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon grease in the skillet.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 5 ounces of fresh spinach, 8 ounces of butter lettuce (torn into bite-sized pieces), and 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion.
  3. Lightly season the greens with freshly ground black pepper (to taste).
  4. In the skillet with the bacon grease, sauté the onions for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
  5. Pour the sautéed onions and bacon grease over the greens. Add 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  6. Toss gently to coat the greens evenly.
  7. Crumble the cooked bacon over the salad.
  8. Top with 1/2 cup of diced hard-boiled eggs (optional).
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
