# Ingredients:
→ Salad Components
01 -
4 slices bacon
02 -
4 green onions, chopped
03 -
1 head leaf lettuce, rinsed, dried, and torn into bite-sized pieces
# Instructions:
01 -
Place bacon slices in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain and crumble into pieces; set aside.
02 -
Add chopped green onions to the bacon drippings in the skillet. Sauté, stirring constantly, until onions are softened to your preference, about 1 minute.
03 -
Arrange torn lettuce pieces in a large serving bowl. Pour the hot sautéed onions and bacon grease over the lettuce and toss lightly to coat.
04 -
Top the tossed lettuce with reserved crumbled bacon and serve while warm.
# Notes:
01 -
Toss the salad quickly after pouring the hot bacon drippings to slightly wilt the lettuce while preserving texture.
