["Wash and pick over the greens thoroughly to be sure no grain of sand remains.", "Dry on paper towels; tear into pieces and chill. Fry the bacon until crisp.", "Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat and drain the bacon on paper towels.", "Add the sugar, flour and salt to the fat.", "Cook and stir 3 minutes.", "Add the vinegar and water and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.", "Add the chopped onion and the greens.", "Toss well to coat thoroughly; cover and cook 2 or 3 minutes, just to wilt the dandelions.", "Serve garnished with the bacon pieces.", "A good salad we enjoyed in Iowa when I was growing up.", "Dandelions were always plentiful in everyone's yard."]
