A family traditon for 15 years was going to St Louis on Thanksgiving. Our family always stayed at the Mayfair Hotel. The Hauf Brau served this salad as well as the main dining room. 30 years later and I find the recipe. What joy it brought when I made it and found it to be the true dressing. I have seen many others but they were always lacking something. This one hit it right on the mark. I live on the east coast now and all my neighbors have had a taste of this ambrosia. It's my soul comfort food.
