  • DRESSING
  • 1 cup mayonnaise (no Miracle Whip)
  • 1 large egg (hard boiled, fine chopped)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons onion juice (I use a very fine grated white onion, using my micro plane)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons white vinegar

We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Dressing ... Mix all the ingredients in a small bowl or measuring cup until well combined. The original recipe uses only onion juice; I prefer to use a fine grated white onion. And, do this right over the bowl to get all the juice. I like to refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.

  • Step 2: Salad ... As I mentioned, don't get fancy with the ingredients. Classic iceberg, ham and turkey, swiss (no baby swiss), etc. And, this is the secret to me ... the salad was always ice cold which is what made it so good. I add the pickles and olives to the bottom of the bowl, then the meat and cheese, and finish with the lettuce. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, just so it is nice and cold.

  • Step 3: Finish and Serve ... Add the dressing to your salad and toss to combine. I tend to dress my salads a bit on the 'light side,' But you can add as much dressing as needed. I even love to serve it on a cold salad or dinner plate; it is so good that way.

  • Step 4: This can be served as a side salad with a bowl of soup, a lunch salad; or, a full dinner salad which I love. Serve with a basket of fresh dinner rolls for a delicious dinner. ENJOY!
