Does anyone have a good wilted lettuce salad recipe?  My grandma always used bacon in it, but I'm trying to figure out a way to tweak the recipe to make it WLS friendly.

Any ideas or suggestions?

To make the dressing (vinegar and oil emulsion) you need oil (fat)

To get the lettuce to wilt, you need HOT fat.

Now, you could heat up Olive Oil and substitute unsaturated fat for the saturated fat in the bacon but, no matter what, you're going to have some sort of hot fat.

I would say, enjoy it in its full glory as a treat but if you must, try heating up a bottled "light" dressing.

I hear what you're saying.  I'll have to think about it or do some more searching.  Thank you.
