Subject: Morrison's Cafeteria 'Tony Salad.'
So excited to find so many of these recipes! I worked for Morrison's in two
Florida locations. I miss their delicious comfort food! There is not one
place this day and time that could compare to them here in Florida.
I could not find the 'Tony Salad' in your list. It had a light amount of a
creamy dressing mixed with iceberg lettuce, black & green olives, white &
yellow cheese chunks. It was one of my favorites. I know I am missing
something, but I don't remember what the dressing was. It was a mayonnaise
base. I used to have a dab of their blue cheese dressing added to top of
salad.
Please help me find this.
Hello Elaine,
I found the below recipe in the Morrison's kitchen manual. The dressing
used here is just oil & garlic. Individual Morrisons often varied slightly
from the manual, so there's no telling what your local Morrison's used.
Phaed
Toni Salad
Ingredients Amount
Endive 2 bunches
Lettuce 2 heads
Escarole 2 bunches
Green Onions 2 bunches
Green Olives 1/4 lb.
Ripe Olives 1/4 lb.
Ham, chopped fine 1/4 lb.
Swiss Cheese 1/4 lb.
Cut cheese into thin slivers (approx. 1/4 by 2 inches). Use 5# loaf cheese
and slice same
thickness as pie cheese, then cut into slivers.
Firm Ripe Tomatoes 2 lbs
Parmesan Cheese 3 ozs
Chef oil 1 pint (It doesn't say exactly what this is. I'd use a
good salad oil such as canola)
Garlic 4 cloves
Cut up all green stuff and allow to get cold and crisp.
Put all other ingredients on top. Just before placing on counter, add Chef
oil, lemon juice
and Parmesan cheese.
Toss well and serve.
=======================================================================
My Morrison's manual has a slightly different version. The lettuce was iceburg.
Other lettuces were difficult to get. So, most Morrison's salads used only iceburg.
Here is the recipe from my manual.
Morrison’s Toni Salad
Yield: 65 – 6 oz. portions
16 lbs. Lettuce (clean weight)
Knock core out of lettuce, wash. Drain with core side down and cut into 1 1/4 inch squares.
Do not chop.
4 lbs. tomatoes
1 lb. ham
1/2 pound Swiss cheese
1/2 pound American Cheese
Cut tomatoes into wedges, 8 per tomato. Julienne cut ham into 1/4 inch strips.
Add half of Swiss and American cheese and ham and 3 pounds tomato wedges to lettuce and toss.
Reserve remaining ingredients.
2 bunches green onions sliced fine.
1 lb. green olives, crushed
1 lb. ripe olives
2 oz. garlic juice
4 oz. lemon juice
Add half of green onions, green and ripe olives. Reserve remainder for garnish. Add lemon juice
and garlic juice to mixture and toss. Put mixture into serving bowl.
Garnish for top: Reserved 1 bunch green onions, 1/2 pound green olives, 1 lb. tomato wedges,
1/4 lb Swiss cheese, 1/4 lb. American cheese, and 1/2 lb. ham, ripe olives, Cover top with
3 oz. Parmesan cheese.
Serve in soup bowl. Use garnish in proper proportion to salad.
Enjoy
James

Thank you for your quick response. Yes, it was as nice that the managers &
employees could change up some ingredients when the storeroom was our of
something. I do not remember the cheese being Shredded. It was chunks of the
Swiss and a yellow cheddar. I do recall how delicious and he chunks of
smoked ham tasted.
In 2005 I endured many a hospital stay during cancer treatment. I wasn't
able to keep any food for n for a long time, however, when I was told that
the hospital food was made by the same company that owned the former
Cafeterias, I wanted to try to eat again.
What a disappointment! I told them that this gruel was a disgrace to the
reputation of Morrison Cafeteria! If you were not already sick, you would be
once you ate that food!
It was not a success for very long! There was absolutely nothing similar in
that food to the scrumptious, delicious food from the original Morrison's!
The Toddle House chain, operated by Dobbs, was another top quality diner
that was sold to a bunch of crooks that ran it out of business. I worked for
them, 10 years. Their malt waffle was made from scratch. The quality
products of their club sandwich is almost impossible to find. The vegetable
soup was a compliment to the grilled bacon cheese tomato sandwich.
Any chance of finding these recipe specs? I think the food came from MBM, as
did Golden Corral , back in the day!
Hello Elaine,
Sorry, I had no success locating any of the Toddle House recipes that you
asked about. I did find the recipes for their chocolate pie and their hash
browns here: Toddle House Chocolate Ice Box Pie
