Hydroponic Lettuce Salad with Hot Bacon Dressing

By Anonymous -









Yummy!  Had such fun with this salad :-)

Wash the lettuce, rip it up (or cut - I like ripped better!)
Grate carrots on top.
Slice some hard boiled eggs and add some extra crispy bacon to the top.

Serve with this dressing:


Reserve 1-2 Tbs of bacon fat from the cooked bacon

==============




1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 tsp sugar (or more to taste)
1 tsp Dijon mustard
Reserved bacon fat
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Whisk all together.  Serve over the salad.

Delish!

Farmers make pennies per pound from the grocery stores, and they often have to wait 30-60 days (or MORE!) to get their payment. At The Produce Box, we pay every single one of our farmers when they deliver the food to us.  In addition to this, the produce at the grocery stores often comes from across the country (1500 miles on average!) or even other countries, and has traveled for days or weeks to get to you -- it's definitely not the most fresh choice or LOCAL by any means! Keep in mind, too, that by buying from us, you’re also supporting their effort to DO GOOD in our communit...

I’ve been replacing a lot of carbs like pasta and rice for steamed or roasted vegetables. We have been eating a lot more vegetable-laden salads, and cutting out items like juice, sugary cereal, and desserts. But I’ve been avoiding cooking a family favorite, Te...
