We called it wilted lettuce salad as well, but ours was more than just grease. I don't have a full recipe and its been years since I made it, grandma never measured and I followed suit but I'll try.
cook bacon, drain all but about a tablespoon of grease out. pour in equal amounts vinegar and suger, depending on how much you want to make, but IIRC roughly 4 tablespoons of each for a fair sized salad was ok, you don't need a huge amount of dressing. Then a pinch of salt. mix over heat and pour over the salad and mix. you want the mix to be warm, but not boiling, just enough to wilt the lettuce a little. I have also cooked some onion in the bacon grease before adding the vinegar. You may need to adjust the ratios or even dilute it a little. we liked ours on the strong side.
The same basic mix does very well over green beans
2 cans green beans (drained)
about a tablespoon of bacon grease
7 tablespoons vinegar
7 tablespoons suger
pinch of salt depending on the saltiness of the beans
onion flakes or a bit of onion
That is how dad and I like it, but its a little strong for a lot of people so for "public consumption" we'll dilute it down with the reserve of one of the cans of beans liquid.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
