Servings: persons

1 cup Mayonnaise (not Miracle Whip!)
3 Tablespoons Grated Onion (so Fine That It's Almost A Liquid)
2 whole Eggs, Hardboiled -- One Mashed Finely For The Dressing, The Other Sliced For Salad Garnish
2 teaspoons Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
2 teaspoons White Sugar
1 Tablespoon White Or White Wine Vinegar
1/2 teaspoons Dry Mustard Powder
1-1/2 teaspoon Dijon Style Prepared Mustard
1 pinch Ground Black Pepper
1 pinch Salt
1 Tablespoon Milk Or Buttermilk
3 Tablespoons Fresh Parsley Chopped Finely
2 Tablespoons Fresh Tarragon, Chopped Finely
1 whole Head Of Iceberg Or Romaine Lettuce, Torn Into Bite-sized Pieces
1/2 pounds Cooked Turkey Or Grilled Chicken Breast
1/2 pounds Cooked Ham
10 ounces, weight Swiss Cheese
1/4 cups Sweet White Onion
1/2 whole Cucumber, Peeled
1 jar (5-6 Oz. Jar) Pimento Stuffed Green Olives
18 whole Sweet Gherkin Pickles
1 whole Lemon, Sliced Into Wedges, For Garnish

1
In a small bowl, whisk together the first 11 salad dressing ingredients until smooth (mayonnaise, grated onion, 1 mashed hardboiled egg, lemon juice, sugar, vinegar, mustard powder, black pepper, salt, milk or buttermilk). Because of the mashed egg, it will be a bit lumpy. (If you're not lazy like me, feel free to blend using a blender to make it creamier.) Add a little more milk if necessary to thin it out a bit. Dressing should be the consistency of a thick ranch. Add the parsley and tarragon last, folding them into the dressing but mixing well. Cover, and let chill for at least one hour. (Overnight is best-it tastes fantastic the next day).
2
For the salad, chop the turkey/chicken, ham, cheese, cucumber, onion and pickles julienne style. (Save six pickles and leave them whole, for garnish on each plate.) Combine all ingredients onto the salad artfully. Each salad should have 6-8 olives. Garnish with an extra sprinkle of chopped tarragon, a few extra whole small gherkin pickles, the sliced hard-boiled egg, and a lemon wedge.

Enjoy!
