Wilted Watercress Salad image

When I was a girl growing up in Iowa, our whole family picked watercress. I modified my sister's recipe for spinach with hot bacon dressing to come up with this lovely, satisfying salad. The sweet dressing and crunchy bacon pieces really dress up plain watercress. It is a treat.-Judith Saeugling, Sun City, Arizona

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my salad didn't turn out very good. The dressing was too oily and the watercress was too bitter.
