Maurice, Maurice Salad

This is an old favorite of mine. I saw it on Facebook, and googled around to make sure that the recipe was authentic.

Then I made it, and tasted it.

Sure enough it reminded me fully of sitting in J L Hudson's dining room and eating it in downtown Detroit.

It was a favorite of mine, and of countless others, given the ease of finding this recipe just about anywhere.

Hope you enjoy it.
