My mother's seven-bean salad with califlower (how the HELL do you spell that?), onions, and vinegar but no sugar.

That said, I'm not big on any of the above, but that would be because I'm the World's Pickiest Eater™

Marshmellow Salad!

And explodingcat is right about the celery seeds.

Same here . . . but I love the Indian version of potato salad . . . Alu Gobi/Ghobi has cauliflower and potatoes and peas in a tomato-based sauce, served hot. OMGTASTY.

My potato salad is made from my mum's recipe that I wisely thought to get from her and write down before she left this life. It is honest to deity the best tater salad I've ever eaten. The dressing involves mayo, some various seasonings, and just a wee bit of cider vinegar. The salad itself involves taters (obviously), hard boiled eggs, diced dill pickle, celery, onion, and other good things. Yummilicious.

Bean salad to me is the classic three bean kind with a vinegar-ey dressing of some sort. Don't know if sugar is involved, but I imagine maybe a little, to cut the bite of the vinegar.

Coleslaw. Yum. Primarily mayo-based. I'm one of the weirdo's as sometimes actually *eats* the coleslaw that comes mit fish & chips.

*hugs*

Celery seeds are a given in any cole slaw recipe I make, which is why I didn't list 'em. ;)

My favorite potato salad:

small red potatoes
golden delicious apples
garbonzo beans (chick peas?)
vidalia onion
kosher dills
maybe just a tad of red bell pepper for color
Everything gets chopped into little tiny squares (except for beans)...
add mayo and French's yellow to taste (lots more mayo)
salt and pepper to taste.

YUM!!

Oops! I forgot the hard boiled eggs.

I just made some potato salad on Monday. I flavor the potatoes when I boil them by using Zatarain's Crab Boil bag and a couple of cap fulls of the concentrative. It gives it a lil bit of a kick that's the yum.

I use boiled red potatoes cut into bite sized chunks, hard boiled eggs in small cubes, sweet relish cubes, mayo, and mustard. I have no measurements since a lot of recipe's in my family are based on watching what your mama did; adding things until it tastes right.
