Lettuce with Hot Bacon Dressing

Here is something a little different for a salad. A friend gave me this years ago. Hope you like it.

Ingredients :

• 1 egg
• 6 slices bacon
• ½ cup sliced onion
• ¼ cup white wine vinegar
• ¼ cup water
• 4 teaspoons white sugar
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 8 cups leaf lettuce - rinsed, dried and torn into bite-size pieces
• 8 radishes, thinly sliced

Directions :

1. Place egg in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil; cover, remove from heat, and let egg stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, cool, peel and chop.
2. Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside. Reserve excess grease.
3. Add onions to skillet with reserved grease and cook until tender. Add bacon, vinegar, water, sugar and salt. Stir and bring to boil.
4. Place lettuce in a large bowl. Pour hot dressing over and toss well. Garnish with egg and radishes.
