If you've never had wilted lettuce, don't let the name fool you. This humble salad is one of summer's greatest pleasures: A bowl of crisp garden lettuce tossed with a warm, tangy bacon dressing that softens the leaves just enough while leaving them fresh, vibrant, and full of flavor. For generations, this was the first salad of spring and summer gardens across North America. Before Caesar salads and vinaigrettes became everyday fare, gardeners harvested loose-leaf lettuce by the basketful and dressed it with whatever they had on hand: bacon drippings, vinegar, a little sugar, and perhaps an onion from the root cellar. The result was simple, comforting, and surprisingly delicious. The contrast between cool lettuce and hot dressing is what makes this dish special. The heat gently wilts the leaves, making them silky without becoming limp, while the sweet-and-sour dressing coats every bite. Whether you're harvesting lettuce from your own garden or bringing home a fresh farmers' market haul, this old-fashioned recipe deserves a place on your summer table.
