Old-Fashioned Potato Salad. The vinegar, mayonnaise, mustard, salt, & pepper get mixed together in a separate bowl & then put in with the potatoes, eggs, onion, & celery. I had a nice spaced column but it ran together on me.

I love this for pasta salad.
I use corkscrew pasta - add olives - tomatoes- and turkey pepporoni. <3!

Congratulations to your daughter and to you. I was going to give you the 3 bean sald recipe I have but SOMEONE beat me to it. I make a lot of potato and pasta salads too, they seem to be a favourite with almost everyone. if you want a fruit salad I make one with almost every fruit I can buy , people really seem to go got that too, it's a real thirst quencher. I chop pieces of different melons, canteloupe, sliced bananas, apples, canned tangerines, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, sliced kiwi, any fruit that is on the shelf goes in except sometimes I will leave out pineapple as I find a lot of people aren't keen on it for some reason. I don't add too much sugar, just depends on the amount I make. Tasting it will let you know when you have put enough.

I'd take the pineapple - but leave out the melons - bleeekkkie!

I make my warm potato salads with a few spoons full of ranch/blue cheese dressing added to the mayo.

Just boil your potatos-I cube mine so they will cook faster- then add your mayo, dressing and chop some chive/parsley/oregano over the top

Or, if you make you PS with sour cream? You can take the little powdered packets of flavored chip dip mix and add that, to taste.


It's like a baked potato salad.

I admin a page of recipes on FB. I have also sent quite a few to Carmen for cold dishes. HERE is the link to the salad & salad dressing topic on FB. You don't need to join the page if you don't want to view. It is called recipe exchange. I will also go through my messages to see if I still have the recipes I sent Carmen (beeniesmom).
