Maurice Salad

Original Recipe from:  Kay Johnson-Tomblin

One of the best things about growing up in Detroit was having lunch at J. L. Hudson’s department store.  When Mother took us to lunch we always had the Maurice Salad….in my opinion, the best salad ever!  I have no idea which one of my friends found this recipe and shared it with me, but it tastes like the real thing.  Make this salad for your next luncheon and treat your loved ones to a “taste of Detroit”.  Enjoy
