Luby’s Ambrosia

Do you love going to Luby’s? Luby’s makes each one of their items on the menu from scratch. They still make their mayonnaise from scratch. This is a great salad to make a day or two ahead of when it needs to be served, the flavors are better the second day.

    In the 50’s my Mom used to make a dessert she called Lemon Snow. It has lemon juice , sugar??? , and who knows what else. It was light and fluffy. Has anyone else ever heard of this??

      Yes we had it all the time and we called it ‘Lemon Fluff’. It was about 1955. I haven’t thought about it in years but I have the recipe I will look it up for you!

    As a child growing up, once a month we would eat at Luby’s…my favorite!!! Did not know they still existed. Would love more of their recipes. Loved their fish n avacodo salad.

    Great timing. Having this tomorrow on the 4th. Anything Luby’s is ok at our house. We do cut the naval oranges down to 3 and add a can of Mandarin oranges.

        Never lived where a Luby’s was located. When I traveled for work, I always had as many convenient meals there as possible. Just became a fan. Not really a fan of cafeteria food in general. Now we have as many Luby’s recipes as we can find and test. I can only play so much golf, so I need another diversion. ha ha
