      Title: Watercress Salad With Warm Bacon Dressing
 Categories: Greens, Pork, Salads
      Yield: 5 servings

      2 bn Mature watercress *
      4 sl Bacon
    1/4 c  Apple cider vinegar
      4 ts Sugar
           Salt & Pepper
      1 pn Ground mustard
      1 pn Sweet paprika

  * Try to get mature watercress, not the hydroponic watercress that
  Whole Foods carries. It will hold up better to the hot dressing.)

  Rinse thoroughly the watercress, removing old leaves and thick
  stems. Set aside in a serving bowl.

  Heat a small stick-free pan on medium heat and cook the bacon until
  done, several minutes on each side. Remove the bacon from the pan
  and put on a paper towel. Keep the bacon fat in the pan.

  Add the cider vinegar and sugar to the bacon fat. Stir to dissolve.
  Sprinkle with salt and pepper, add a pinch of ground mustard and a
  pinch of paprika. Taste and adjust seasoning. This is a sweet-sour
  dressing, so if it is too acidic, add a bit more sugar, if too
  sweet, add a bit more vinegar.

  Bring the dressing to a simmer. Pour over watercress. Crumble the
  bacon over the top. Toss and serve.
