We have always had our garden lettuce with fried crumbled bacon, and a dressing of half and half, sugar and cider vinegar (usually made with 2cups 1/2&1/2 and 1/4 cup each sugar and vinegar) and we eat ours on mashed potato with more crumbled bacon. It's an awesome seasonal meal - left over salad will not keep with dressing on it - it gets too mushy.
