This simple salad combines crisp lettuce with a warm, savoury dressing made from rendered bacon fat, apple cider vinegar, and a touch of sugar. The hot dressing is poured directly over the torn lettuce, wilting it slightly for a delicious contrast of textures and flavours. It's a quick side dish, ready in about 15 minutes, ideal for a light lunch or snack. The recipe yields enough for two to three people.

Keep approximately 1 1/4 tablespoons of the bacon fat in the skillet along with the cooked bacon pieces.
Stir in the apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper into the skillet.
Heat the mixture in the skillet until it reaches a rolling boil.
Immediately transfer the hot dressing from the skillet over the bowl of torn lettuce and toss everything together to coat.
