Grandma's Vintage Recipes

This blog is for the posting of Vintage Recipes. I have inherited recipes from both my grandmothers, mother, aunts, etc over the years. I am also a cookbook collector with several old cookbooks in my possession. My goal here is to share with you older recipes that have been lost to many. I hope you will enjoy my blogs and some old memories will be revived by some of the recipes. Note:To save the vintage value of these recipes, I make no changes. You see the original recipe as written.

WILTED LETTUCE SALAD

As I have stated many times, I put these recipes out as they are. As for the amount of lettuce and green onion in this old recipe from an Indiana newspaper many years ago, you are on your own.

2 slices bacon
1/4 cup vinegar
2 tbsp water
green onion, chopped
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar (or more to taste)
Pepper
Leaf Lettuce
1 hard-cooked (boiled) egg

Fry and crumble the 2 slices of bacon. Add the other ingredients (except lettuce and egg) and bring to a boil. Pour over the lettuce in a deep bowl. Add the hard-cooked egg, chopped. Double recipe for a larger amount of lettuce.
