If you live in Michigan, chances are, you know about the Maurice Salad. It was created in the restaurant at the J.L. Hudson building in downtown Detroit. My grandmother actually worked as a waitress in the restaurant!

Below you’ll find the recipe and some Quick Tricks if you don’t have a lot of time to put it together.

INGREDIENTS

For the dressing

2 tsp white vinegar
1 ½ tsp lemon juice
2 tsp finely minced onions
1 ½ tsp sugar
1 ½ tsp Dijon mustard
¼ tsp dry mustard
1 cup mayonnaise, regular or 1 cup low fat
2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 hard-boiled egg, diced
Salt to taste

For the salad

14 ounces ham, cut into strips
14 ounces cooked turkey breast, cut into strips
14 ounces swiss cheese, cut into strips
1⁄2cup sweet gherkin pickles, roughly chopped
1 head iceberg lettuce, shredded

QUICK TRICKS

Rotomac! I got this product last summer and it’s changed my life. It’s the easiest thing in the world to use and cleanup is even easier. Go ahead and make your way to the store, treat yourself to one, and let me know how much you like it! It’s perfect for chopping up those gherkin pickles (or anything, really) super fast!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; pre-cut vegetables from the grocery store are such a huge help if you’re in a pinch for time. Go ahead and get those pre-diced white onions. You deserve it.
Oscar Mayer makes Cutting Board Ham and Turkey, that comes pre-packaged and cut into pieces. Just cut those into strips and you’re good to go.
Dole lettuce shreds are also perfect if you don’t have the time to shred a head of lettuce yourself.
Eggland’s Best makes hard-boiled eggs. They come in a bag of 10.
