Saturday Share Recipe: Wilted Spinach Salad

When I was growing up, my Mom fixed a salad that she called “wilted” not especially an appetizing name, but it was so good.

That’s what I’m sharing today, the recipe for  Wilted Spinach Salad. 

Now, my mom fried bacon and used the fat rendered from that to make the dressing for this salad. 

Apparently, lard has become a trendy thing of late so if you want to try it that way, go ahead.

(Amazon sells lard, and you’ll be shocked at how expensive it is.)

Ingredients 

• 1 clove of garlic
• 1/3 cup olive oil (if using rendered bacon fat, use an equal measure)
• 1/4 cup wine vinegar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 3 cups fresh spinach leaves (if large, tear them in half)
• 2 hard boiled eggs, chopped
• 2-4 slices fried bacon, drained and crumbled (men like more)
