For a tangier flavor, add a splash of apple cider vinegar or white vinegar to the bacon grease along with the green onions. If you don't have bacon, you can use pancetta or even a bit of olive oil with a pinch of smoked paprika for a smoky flavor. Make sure the lettuce is completely dry before adding the dressing, otherwise the salad will be soggy. Some people like to add a sprinkle of sugar for a touch of sweetness.

A Southern Appalachian classic, this wilted lettuce salad is a testament to simple ingredients transformed into a comforting and flavorful dish. Crisp lettuce is gently kissed by warm bacon fat and the sharpness of green onions, creating a delightful harmony of textures and tastes. Best enjoyed alongside hearty pinto beans and warm cornbread.
