Hudson's Maurice Salad

[Granny Smith]

All of my adult life, I've tried to find the elusive salad that I've judged all other salads by. Problem was, I didn't remember having this salad because I would have been 8 years old or younger when I had it and it would have been around Christmas so I would have had other things on my mind. I am thrilled that I finally found it and wanted to share it with y'all.


Hudson's Maurice Salad
This salad was born in Detroit at the JL Hudson Department

Dressing:
2 t. white vinegar
1 1/2 t. lemon juice
1 1/2 t. onion juice
1 1/2 t. sugar
1 1/2 t. Dijon mustard
1/4 t. dry mustard
1 c. mayonnaise
2 T. chopped fresh parsley
1 hard cooked egg, diced
salt to taste

Salad Ingredients:
14 oz. ham, cut into strips
14 oz. cooked turkey breast, cut into strips
14 oz. Swiss cheese, cut into strips
1/2 c. slivered, sweet gherkin pickles
1 head Iceberg lettuce, shredded
12-16 pimento stuffed green olives

Combine the first 6 dressing ingredients and stir to dissolve the sugar. Add remaining dressing ingredients and mix well. Combine the ham, turkey, cheese and pickles together in a large bowl. Toss together with the dressing. Divide the lettuce among plates, top with salad and garnish each plate with 2 olives.

It turned out that Ben liked it, too. He and I ate this entire recipe in 3 days!
