WILTED SPINACH SALAD








2 ea. Eggs, hard boiled, diced


1 lb. fresh spinach


1/2 pound sliced bacon


1/3 cup red wine vinegar


2 Tbl Chef Johnny's Creole Mustard or a course ground tangy mustard.


1/2 French baguette


3 Tbls olive oil


1 clove garlic





Heat he oven to 400 degrees. Using the bread knife cut the baguette into 1/4-inch slices. Brush the olive oil over both sides of each slice of bread, setting the slices on the baking sheet. Bake in the heated oven until toasted and golden brown, turning over the slices once; 7-10 minutes. Strike the garlic clove lightly with the flat of the chef's knife, peel off the skin, and cut the clove in half. Rub one side of each slice of toasted bread with the cut sides of the garlic, and discard the clove. Set the croutons aside.





Discard the tough stems and ribs from the spinach then wash the leaves in cold water. Tear the leaves into large pieces. Dry the spinach on the dishtowel or in a salad spinner and place into a large mixing bowl.


Place the frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until it is crisp and the fat is rendered (about 3-5 minutes). Remove from the heat and add the bacon fat to the spinach. There should be about 1/2 cup of bacon fat. Chop the bacon and toss the bacon and spinach together vigorously until the spinach is slightly wilted, about 30 seconds. Slowly pour the vinegar into the frying pan and return to heat. Bring it to a boil, stirring to dissolve the pan juices. Boil for about 1 minute reducing by 1/3. Add the Creole Mustard and blend well bringing again to a boil. Remove from heat and pour the vinegar mixture over the spinach and bacon, and toss together well until the spinach is evenly coated in dressing. Serve the salad on individual plates and sprinkle each serving with diced hard-boiled egg white and yolk. Serves at once with the croutons.I need a recipe for welted salad. please?
Do you mean wilted? Check the internet or any cook books you may have. Makes me hungry just thinking about it.
Wilted Lettuce - you use fresh bibb lettuce washed and dried.





Yum, my Mom used to make this with lettuce she grew in our garden.





Fry about 6 strips of fatty bacon in frying pan. When the bacon is done take out and crumble set aside.





Leave the bacon grease in the pan





In the pan put 1/2 chopped white onion and 2 chopped green onions - when they are transparent - add 1 tablespoon of vinegar (does not matter which kind), 1 tablespoon of white sugar, and some pepper; stir and pour over the greens





Pour over the lettuce and lightly toss in the bacon crumbles





You can also add some chopped egg, mushrooms, or even spinach to the salad.
