Today I learned you can drain bacon on lettuce

I can feel my arteries clogging just from watching this.

I bet it's good. Also officially sure bacon fat is healthy

That's it?

My grandma used to make this she called it wilted lettuce salad. Think she added sugar and vinegar to the grease though

I'm trying that. I love anything with bacon

You found a purpose for lettuce????

At long last!

Grew up in Eastern Kentucky and my grandmother used to do this...she referred to it as "kilt lettuce". Delicious btw. Especially when served with other items such as soup beans and cornbread.

@_ROB_29 Wilted salad. It is a thing.

@_ROB_29 You got a recipe?

Why would you waste bacon grease like that?

To make lettuce taste good?

sooo, all the Fat that the bacon gave off. you dumped into a salad?. Really?. i'm a guy and even thats gross

My bacon fat gets saved for cooking breakfast with.

I save mine too.

How to make a salad 1000 calories.

I'd eat those leaves

I would too! Environmentally friendly!

Wait im sorry I genuinely thought this was a joke until I read the comments Isnt this extremely unhealthy? Arent we suppose to avoid eating grease bc our arteries will clog up?

Lol... you use black seeded Simpson lettuce, small leaves, bacon and grease , and green onions chopped. Goes with any full meal.

I ate this from the time I was a kid. Still eat it today. Wilted or “kilt” lettuce is what my mom called it. Amazing stuff

We called it killt lettuce.

How come I can’t lose weight when all I eat is salad?

wilted lettuce

Great way to make salad palatable

Wilted lettuce. Needs vinegar too.

Just another example of just because you can don't mean you should

If you ate this for two weeks you'd be ripped

My mom would make it with baby spinach and balsamic vinegar.

Oh man! As a kid...we called it Wilted Lettuce! Sour cream, vinegar, bacon, lettuce....I could/would drink the leftover. That might explain a few things. But oh so good.

The late great spinach salad of the 80's. Add some chopped hard boiled eggs and crumbled yolks to the top. I miss them on the menus.

Today I learned maybe I should take the time to dice my bacon and cube my lettuce.

Drain it on spinach and you will have the beginning of an amazing spinach salad.

you can but that doesn’t mean you should. soggy wilted lettuce is a texture disaster

Can you do this with bread, a bagel or even eggs. I can't believe that no one thought of this before. What's next, chocolate covered bacon?

Chocolate covered bacon is a thing and actually rather tasty

Best dish my mom ever made me!!!

What else did she add?

Apparently you've never had bacon dressing on a salad. With some good honey mustard

I believe mustard was added when I had it. Freaking good. Also, had it once in cabbage like that. Even better

oh yum! I love me some kiln lettuce and onions with a splash of vinegar added in.

Better with spinach and green onion

Try it on shredded cabbage then put that in a pasta perfection. ( assuming you like cabbage) also needs a good parm cheese

Almost the only way anyone is gonna get me to eat lettuce

You need red wine vinegar and put it in on high when the bubbles form. Just 3/4 of a cup and use reddichio and not lettuce.
