I have fond memories of taking my older daughter (now43) to Hudson’s (now Macy’s) for lunch when she was only 5 years old. She always got the kid’s pizza and I always got the Maurice salad. Since Covid hit, I haven’t been able to find a Macy’s that has a restaurant any more. I’ve tried Maurice salads at other restaurants but it’s just not the same. Can you believe the Maurice salad dressing contains hard boiled eggs? Here it is:
J. L. Hudson’s Maurice Salad Dressing
2 teaspoons white vinegar
1 – 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons finely minced onions or 1 – 1/2 teaspoons onion juice
1 – 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 – 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 hard boiled
salt
Combine the first six ingredients to dissolve the sugar, then add the rest and mix well. Now I bet you want to know the ingredients for the salad! Click here for more recipes from Scotty Callies Mom:

I love soup but I’m not so sure about cold soup. But hey, not only do I have leftover hard boiled eggs, but I have leftover ham too! This looks so good! I’m going to try Natasha’s Russian/Ukraine summer soup and maybe cheat a little and heat it up!
Okroshka Soup
8 cups cold water
1/3 cup sour cream
3 1/2 Tbsp Vinegar divided
2 1/2 tsp Salt
3 Tbsp chopped dill (fresh or frozen)
1/2 cup green onion, finely chopped
1/2 ham diced
3-4 medium cooked potatoes, peeled and diced
3 hard-boiled eggs, diced
3-4 cucumbers, diced
- Peel potatoes and dice them into 1/4″ cubes. Place diced potatoes in a medium pot and cover with water. Add 1 Tbsp. vinegar and bring to a boil then continue boiling for 10 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked, but not falling apart. Drain well and set aside to cool. For quicker cooling, you can rinse potatoes with cold water.
- While potatoes are cooking, boil 3 eggs and cool them in ice water.
- Next, dice 3 eggs, 3-4 cucumbers, 1/2 lb of ham. Also chop 3 Tbsp. of dill and 1/2 cup of green onions. Place everything in a large pot.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together 8 cups of cold water, 1/3 cup of sour cream, 2 1/2 Tbsp. of vinegar, 2 1/2 tsp of salt until combined. Pour the mixture in the pot with the rest of ingredients. Stir to combine and serve.
