Greens with Hot Bacon Dressing image

Growing up in a German community, I ate this salad often. It's an old traditional dish-I recall my grandmother talking about her mother making this recipe. As a variation, the old-timers in my family cut up some boiled potatoes on dinner plates, then serve the warm salad mixture on top. -Robert Enigk, Canastota, New York
