Preparation
Step 1
Wash and dry 1 head of cold iceberg lettuce and tear coarsely into pieces.
(You can soak the lettuce in ice water and then drain it in a colander and pat it dry with a paper towel).
Place cold lettuce in a heatproof bowl. In a large skillet, fry bacon until half cooked. Add onions and continue to fry bacon until slightly crisp and onions are tender. Remove bacon pieces with a slotted spot and place on paper towel to drain. Drain all but 4 Tablespoons of bacon grease. Add water, vinegar and sugar and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
Pour hot vinaigrette over lettuce, add salt and pepper to taste and toss.
Serve immediately.
Sprinkle bacon pieces on top.
