Other Royal Dell Salads
As a Deli-man’s daughter, I grew up on deli salads: Cole Slaw, Potato Salad, Cucumber Salad, Health Salad, Macaroni Salad. Pair Cole Slaw with a Corned Beef-Pastrami combo on Rye Bread and it was heaven. I haven’t tasted many deli salads as good as my Dad’s. When I would visit his deli, The Royal Dell in New Jersey, my mouth began watering, whether for a sour pickle from the wooden barrels, a deli meat sandwich or for any of his fresh, crisp deli salads. When my Dad gave me his recipes, he had to reduce the amounts down from the 50 pounds batches of each he made daily. Easy to make and delicious not only with deli sandwiches but any grilled meat, poultry, fish or veggies. Almost any menu! Can you tell I love these salads!!You’ll want to keep the recipe on hand as the weather warms and picnics and BBQ’s are on the schedule. Below, see the links to the Potato-Cauliflower Salad (vegetarian) and Health Salad (vegan) and gluten free. Salads are vegan with vegan mayonnaise.
