4 fresh green onions, chopped

Two boiled eggs, diced

Fresh lettuce leaves from the garden or 1 head of store-bought lettuce

In a skillet, fry bacon until crisp. Remove bacon from the skillet to a paper towel-lined plate, but reserve the grease in the skillet. Brown the flour and salt in hot bacon grease over medium heat. Have the sugar, vinegar, and water stirred together and ready to pour into the flour when nice and brown. Be careful so it doesn’t bubble over. Keep stirring the mixture. Cook a minute or so until it thickens. When the dressing is cooled off you may want to add a bit of cream or milk if it is too thick. Pour over lettuce leaves that have been torn into bite-sized pieces. Add bacon, eggs, and onions and toss lettuce.
