yum... wilted lettuce... but the secret is using bacon fat with crumbled bacon bits, vinegar & sugar added to form a hot dressing that is then poured over tender leaf lettuce or spinach. A dressing close to what is used for German potato salad. You can adapt it, just don't get quite the same zing.
Just thought of cranberries & wild rice... native foods that give such a nice touch to stuffing, pilaf or desserts.
