1/4 cup French dressing
1/4 teaspoon celery salt
2 tablespoons chopped chives
2 tablespoons vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar

Preparation

  1. Tear the wilted greens into bite-size pieces and put them on a plate. Sauté the bacon and chop it into small bits.

Put the plate of greens with sauce on top of a bowl of hot water and warm gently for 6 minutes. Toss and serve.
