Depression Era Jew Salad Recipe From a Friend's Grandmother

This is a recipe that was passed on to me by a friend's grandmother. It is a recipe that she made up during the depression for a Jewish family that she cooked for and that is how she named it. Grandma gave me the recipe just before she passed because she knew how much I loved it and told me it had never been given to anyone else. I decided to share it so it doesn't disappear when I am gone.

@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 I've been meaning to make this salad ever since you posted it. I finally did Sunday. I made half a batch 2 days ago. Fit perfectly I'm ball wide mouth 2 quart jar. I am now eating it. It is absolutely fantastic. Simple ingredients, but the combination goes so well together. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@paradisoperduto4900]

My grandparents went through the Holocaust and those that were able to leave and somehow find 'safe' places, came up with amazing recipes... everything was used. absolutely no waste because food was an issue. either it didn't exist or we couldn't afford it. to this day, I still make apple jam and I still save the peels and apple cores in a bag in the freezer. With that we make a different kind of jam, we make pectin as well. same goes for all the root vegetables that we peel. we make vegetable broth. I am very familiar with this recipe and if you want to make it a bit more fancy, or a bit more rich, you can add sultanas or raisins. Just a bit. It's like little jewels inside the salad. If pomegranates are in season, you can also use a bit. Something we also use is the white long radish (not sure what they are called in English because I associate radishes with the red ones you've used) but they are really cheap and along with potatoes and carrots, they are the base for plenty of soups.

[@agamum1]

Paradiso Perduto I believe you are referring to daikon radish. The golden raisins are a brilliant addition! As well as the pomegranate in wintertime!

What a lovely sentiment!

[@nigeldavey1043]

Interesting. My mother made this and she did so because her mother made it. I come from a half Ashkenasy, half Sephardi background. My Grandmother was Ashkenasy and they called it Russian or Winter salad. If there were no Radishes then a small amount of Horseradish would be added. Sometimes Beetroot ( red beet I think you call it in the states but always a Vinaigrette type dressing but maybe with mustard powder added since often served wit yesterdays salt beef. When made with the beetroot in it you got a pink tinge to everything. Actually I believe it to be more typically Polish rather than Russian. Maybe sometimes in a salad bowl it would be garnish with sliced eggs. Thanks for reawakekening memories of my younger days.

Good video, my mom had an almost identical salad recipe . She called it “The Claremont Salad” named for The Claremont Diner in New Jersey. Landmark diner sadly no longer in business. My mom would make this as a side for family gatherings about a week before. We kept in fridge 72 hrs minimum before serving . You’re right it gets better with age. About 10 days in it would start to spoil, but the jar was almost always practically empty.

Madelyn L. What about Russian dressing or French dressing, French onion soup, French fries, Mexican tacos, it’s a salad called JEW SALAD! That’s all!

Dawn Wells using Jew over Jewish is a dog whistle to idiots. It’s like using a mildly derogatory name for people from Mexico before “taco.” But, given the age of the original recipe, likely the woman meant no harm, and it was likely local wording.

I'm not sure where the original recipe came from, but my parents had Jewish friends, and worked for elderly Jewish retirees living in the villas near my neighborhood.

I made this tonight with vegetables mostly from our local farmer's market. I made the following adjustments: I used i large green pepper and four petite yellow and red peppers. I only added half of the red onion and 3/4 of the sweet onion since my family is not crazy about onions.I used 10 TBS of sugar, 3 cucumbers, and increased vinegar to 2 cups. I debated spending the extra money for Heinz vinegar but I"m so glad I did because it had a much milder flavor than what I had on hand. I chopped my veggies rather than slice. So good!

I love when people share their loved recipes, I love pickled veggies so I will be making this and hopefully my children will love it enough to keep passing it on.

I love this salad and it has kept in my refrigerator for a month and still been terrific but I keep my refrigerator very cold. it is so nice to have it prepared and just go get a bowl whenever I want a snack! Thank you for sharing and the recipe will not die with you. :-)

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

It's definitely our favorite also but we never had a batch last that long. Thanks for watching.

My grandma' called it "summersalad", and i allways make this 2-4 times pr year :-)

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

I guess many people came up with salads like this when times were tough. We really like the dressing on this version. I am getting ready to make another batch as soon as the fresh sweet fall cabages are available. Thanks for watching my video.

All those crispy fresh veggies are so healthy and tasty to all nationalities and religions!! Yum! And the vinaigrette is so well balanced, I wish I could dive into a bowl right now. Thank you for sharing your grandma's recipe with us. She would be pleased to know how many lives it has touched, for sure!

Unemployed Redneck Hillbilly Creations Times don't need to be tough to create a recipe with a multitude of veggies/ingredients. Homemakers across the globe, on a daily basis, gather whatever is left of this or that and combine it into a brand new dish for a meal for their family or self. Your grandmother's salad can be "tweaked" with green onions, peas, napa cabbage, etc etc and even topped with tomatoes just before serving..... it's a versatile dish. Some of the best recipes come from the Depression Era and families who know how to combine and stretch a few flavorful ingredients to feed a large number of hungry people. Have you considered recreating other recipes of your grandmother and posting them as a video series? No doubt they will be a huge success! Thanks for the recipe!

Did he say sugar ??

JOY GORDON- she was NOT his grandmother it was his friend grandma!!

[@taililly2483]

Thank you for sharing. You have encouraged me to pass recipes on to the next generation, so that they can pass it on. And maybe have a little something to remember me by when I pass on. Blessings to you and yours.

[@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023]

Getting this recipe was very special to me and everytime we make a batch it brings back memories of her. I think the reason she never wanted to share it was because whenever she made it we would head over to see her and do little things to help out.
