1. I worked at Hudsons in the late 80s and early 90s and had a Maurice Salad almost every day for lunch. I'm wondering if anyone has the recipe for the popover that they served with it? It was very light and fluffy. The ones that I make from other online recipes that I've found are thick and too heavy.

1. I knew something was wrong with this recipe. It's tasty but NOT the original recipe. I found the original in my mother's recipe box. To get that, do the following: Eliminate mustards, lemon, sugar, parsley. Use 1/2 sour creme, 1/2mayo. Use 1teaspoon chopped chives instead of parsley. Use one chopped sweet gherkin instead of sugar. Use a whole chopped sweet onion instead of onion juice. And this is critical: Add one teaspoon Worcestershire sauce. Blend all in blender till smoothe.

2. The olives and gherkins make it authentic. It was always a special Wednesday when you got to go to lunch at Hudson's with Grandma Jane and dine on this salad (and to shop in "The Aisles of Beauty")!

3. The real recipe was printed in the Detroit Free Press with permission of Macy's, formerly J.L. Hudson. This recpie offers three options. Any one of the three will alter the taste. 1. It makes a big difference if you use onion juice or raw onions. This is the item most people change and if you don't use onion juice you will not replicate the taste. It is the biggest mistake people make with this recipe. 2. The oeigional recipe did not include either/or for the sweetener. It said “sugar,” 3. The original recipe said “mayonnaise,” not “or low fat.” There was not a low-option when this recipe was created. Changing the recipe for a substitute will in every case alter the results. Sour cream was never used in this recipe. I read where someone said that was her mom's recipe. It may have been delicious, but any Detroiter would cringe at that alteration.

4. Follow up, sorry. I just wanted to say, I appreciate turkey and ham. Not honey roasted, not honey ham, just turkey and ham. Also the lettuce being shredded. That is what made that unique. I so appreciate the original version of this!

2. Every so often you run across a recipe that really turns your taste buds on their ear. This is that recipe for me. Such a different combination that makes a normal bunch of ingredients into something really special. This is an excellent lunch salad or light dinner. We used leftover grilled chicken in place of the turkey and I grated the cheese instead of slicing it. Delicious and a recipe I will fall back onto often.
