This is what you do with those bags of broccoli slaw found near the bags of lettuce and coleslaw at your grocer. Add a sprinkling of nuts (walnuts, pine nut, pecans) whatever you wish to bump it up another notch.  Oddly, this went quite well with egg salad sandwiches.
1 pkg. broccoli slaw mix
2 pkgs. [...]

A different twist on the usual mayonnaise based salad. Try to use only freshly squeezed lemon juice, not the stuff in the bottle.
About 6-8 good sized potatoes
1 tsp. onion powder
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
1 tsp. dill weed
1-2 tsp. sugar (taste)
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper

A different take on the run of the mill marinated cucumbers. This is delicious and tastes even better the next day - if you have leftovers.
2-3 cucumbers
2 Tbsp. mayonnaise
1 tsp. mustard powder
1/3 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. dill
Kosher salt to taste
Peel the cucumber and slice them as very thin. Spread them out on cookie sheets that [...]

Easy, good, quick and you probably won’t have leftovers. Serve some crusty, kicked up bread - such as garlic - on the side, and perhaps some steamed broccoli. A perfect light lunch or dinner.

1 lb. elbow (or other small shape pasta) cooked, drained, rinsed
1/2 cup green olives
1/2 cup sliced black olives
3 Heaping Tbsp. grated Parmesan, [...]

I had not eaten this for about 20 years when suddenly the urge came upon me to revisit an old family favorite. I don’t care for tuna anymore, so my sister Sandy helped me rework the recipe with  diced, cooked chicken and it worked just as well.

1/2 a bag of cooked egg noodles
1 can drained [...]

This stuff is great!
1 - 2 bags of pre-shredded cabbage (or shred your own)
3 Tbsp. white vinegar
3 Tbsp. white sugar
1/2 cup mayonnaise (use Hellmann’s please!)
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 tsp. white pepper
Place cabbage in large bowl. Whisk all other ingredients together then pour over/mix into the cabbage - mix very well. Cover with plastic wrap and [...]

Perfect deli-style salad. I also include this at my holiday table at Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc., as cucumbers are available year round. It’s great for leftovers. Plus, it makes a good-sized bowlful.
4 cucumbers, peeled and sliced very, very thin
6 very thin, full, slices of a medium red onion
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp. chopped [...]

Sadly, some folks only eat these potatoes during the holiday season. They’re sure missing out, but you don’t have to. Try this salad and surprise yourself and family!

1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
4 tsp. white or unseasoned rice vinegar
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 cup olive oil (extra virgin is best)
4 scallions, sliced thin
Peel the potatoes [...]

This is a simple, straight-forward potato salad, which is how we like it at our house. Feel free to add more or different veggies as you like or a bit of chopped up dill or sweet pickle/relish.

1 tsp. sugar
3 Tbsp. white vinegar
