I love this wilted salad but never made it before. This was such an easy recipe to follow and it turned out perfect. I left out the hard boiled eggs but the salad was so good it didn't need them. I did add some extra bacon.

Made this with green onions and loose leaf lettuce from my garden. Very tasty, I also sliced a cucumber and radish into mine.
