This seasonal salad of crisp winter lettuces with warm sweet-and-sharp dressing offers a sophisticated balance of textures and flavours. A combination of peppery watercress, robust romaine, and delicate butterhead leaves provides the perfect base for the rich, savoury additions. The heat from the dressing gently wilts the greens, while the acidity of the cider vinegar cuts through the saltiness of the bacon, creating a beautifully rounded dairy-free starter or side dish.
Perfect for a weekend lunch or as an elegant accompaniment to a roasted main course, this dish is versatile and easy to assemble. The syrupy, warm dressing is the star of the show, transforming simple garden ingredients into something truly indulgent. For the best results, use high-quality shop-bought bacon and served immediately while the dressing is still hot and the leaves remain vibrant and crisp.

Ingredients for Crisp Winter Lettuces with Warm Sweet-and-Sharp Dressing
12 cups mixed salad greens such as cos, watercress, and Bibb and/or Boston
1 large bunch rocket (optional), coarse stems discarded
6 spring onions, thinly sliced diagonally
2 tablespoons finely chopped chives
9 bacon slices (230g )
350ml cider vinegar
60ml granulated sugar
50g packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
How to make Crisp Winter Lettuces with Warm Sweet-and-Sharp Dressing
Tear greens into large pieces and put in a large salad bowl with rocket, spring onions, and chives.
Cook bacon in a 12-inch nonreactive skillet over medium heat until crisp. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain, then stir vinegar, sugars, salt, and 1/2 teaspoons pepper into fat in skillet. Boil, stirring occasionally, until reduced to about 180ml , 10 to 12 minutes. (Dressing should be syrupy and bubbling.)
Crumble bacon over salad, then toss with enough warm dressing to lightly coat. Season with salt and pepper.
