Cooking Time: 9 to 11 minutes Power: 100% (700 watts)
4 slices bacon
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 teaspoon mustard prepared
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg beaten
5 cups mixed vegetable salad*

Place bacon in a 1-quart microwavable dish. Microwave, uncovered, at 100% power (700 watts) for 3 to 4 minutes or until browned. Transfer bacon to paper towels set aside.

To bacon drippings, add water, vinegar, mustard and Worcestershire sauce and mix until blended. Microwave, uncovered, at 100% power for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes or until mixture boils.

In a small bowl, stir sugar, flour and salt until blended. Stirring constantly, gradually stir flour mixture into hot liquid until blended. Microwave, uncovered, at 100% power for 3 1/2 minutes or until thickened, stirring after 2 minutes. Quickly stir in egg. Egg will "cook" in hot liquid, forming thin strings.

Pour dressing over salad. Crumble bacon and sprinkle over the top. Serve immediately.

* A suggested mixed vegetable salad is a mixture of 3 cups torn spinach leaves, 2 cups shredded zucchini, 1 cup thinly sliced carrots, 1 small tomato, cut into wedges, and 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
