Directions
Chopped Salad by Marconi’s in Baltimore,”Marconi’s” restaurant opened it’s doors in the early 1920’s, and had been a staple on the Baltimore restaurant scene until it closed recently. This historic restaurant is truly where I obtained my love of lettuce salads when I was a youngster. I went with my mother and father, downtown (sometimes even during the week!) to enjoy the great American “classic dinner”. I always felt like a grown-up ordering my own salad, which was made table side. I absolutely fell in love with the big old woodened, seasoned, salad bowls and large wooden forks to mix up the ingredients. I could eat anyone under the table eating one of these salads, and to this day, this salad is a favorite of mine. Just recently, this inspired “Marconi Chopped Salad” showed up in the “Baltimore Sun” paper by Brucie White who answered a request for this recipe. Although “Marconi’s” never officially published this recipe, Mr. White has tried to put together the components that were so inspired for so long in memory of this great establishment. I have added my own twist by some additions, but I wish to credit Mr. White for his contribution. Go ahead, chop some salad, and remember when………….,My sister and I grew up eating this salad at Marconis….we are so excited to have found this recipe! Valentine’s dinner salad, to be sure :),4 1/2 stars, but with your story it’s 5. I liked this dinner salad a lot. I did not use the optional anchovies. used Hellman’s olive oil mayonnaise to be soy free, the optional frozen sweet peas from Green Giant, plus the rest of the ingredients. I would love to make this for DH to try. Made for, Veggie Swap 36 ~ July 2011.
