What did people serve on their salads before bottled salad dressings were available in stores? They made wilted salad with hot bacon grease, sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper. It's easy to make, you know all of the ingredients and it tastes so good!

Pour hot salad dressing over greens; toss.
Serve immediately.
