Who doesn’t know the all-time famous Groucho’s 45 Sauce Recipe. It is an icon of Groucho’s Deli and a well-celebrated sandwich condiment. I bet most of the people of my generation grew up loving this sauce.

For me, every time we went to Groucho’s Deli, it had become an obsession for me to get that sauce no matter what. Even the waiters knew instantly as they saw me that a Groucho’s 45 sauce order was coming.

My mother tried this recipe at home because of me and she was successful in crafting the copycat recipe that tasted exactly like Groucho’s. After that, this sauce never disappeared from our kitchen.

So I guess it’s your best chance to grab for your children to eat healthy salads. Let’s follow my life-long Groucho’s 45 sauce recipe!
