Jinx Schnoes
| Ingredients: | |
|---|---|
| 1 | head green or red leaf lettuce (or a combination) |
| 1 | red onion, peeled and sliced |
| 1 | hard boiled egg |
| ½ | cup sliced mushrooms (optional) |
| 5 | strips bacon |
| ¾ | cup water |
| ¾ | cup cider vinegar |
| 2 ½ | tablespoons sugar, or to taste |
Wash and dry leaf lettuce; tear into large pieces and place in a large serving bowl. Separate onion slices into rings and mix into lettuce. Slice egg in an egg slicer, then turn and slice in opposite direction; mix into lettuce along with mushrooms.
Meanwhile, fry bacon in a medium skillet until crisp. Drain bacon on paper towel and crumble into salad. Pour out all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings.
Mix water, vinegar and sugar together to form a sweet-sour mixture. Pour into skillet and heat over medium-high heat until hot. Stir gently, but do not scrape up bacon bits from pan. When mixture is hot, pour over salad greens. Toss gently and serve immediately.
Recipe serves 6-8.
