When I was a teenager, I worked at a Woolworth Lunch Counter....Just found this recipe from all those years ago. The memory is probably better than the recipe but I remember making it and loving to eat it for lunch

I loved going to woolworths what a great post!


Awesome! I worked at Woolworth's in Cosmetics when I was a kid (not too long before they unfortuneately closed), and used to eat at the lunch counter on Fridays when I got paid - great post!


Ok, you have to tell me what kind of salad dressing....and brand :)


Boy! This brings back some fun memories! Thanks for the post...I must try it to see if it's just the memory, as you said, or the actual ham salad :)


You talkin' ta me?!! Woolworths and the counter was so much fun! I loved going to sit at the counter and having a "Shirley Temple"!!


That is tooooooo funny! I remember woolworths, I really remember the ice cream for 25 cents. Black walnut ice cream.


Yummy!!!! brings back memories..


Sure does bring back memories! Don't forget the ice cream soda to go with it!


How funny.... I worked at Woolworths in the mid 60's... One of my first jobs.. Worked the counter and the CANDY counter.. with the roasting nuts! Yummmmy. I love this salad..


How cool. I have never had this at Woolworth's but my son's great grandma used to make this for us for lunch all the time. I never got her recipe, but this sounds like I remember. Will definitely be making - and of course you've got to have potato chips ! Thanks wynne.


What's woolworth's??


The old lunch counter recipes are great!


I remember our Woolworth's counter fondly too. It was a special treat to have a real soda fountain drink and a grilled cheese. Love the memory and the recipe.
