I like both your salads. A good creamy broccoli salad with fresh purple onions is sooooo good.

For the 4th I made German potato salad out of the little round white potatoes with skin on, don’t cook em too much so they slice but are still done. Then once you can touch the potatoes, they should still be quite warm (and you can cheat and wear a fingered oven glove), slice them up in a big huge bowl and shake rice vinegar all over them. Sprinkle with plenty of salt. Gently toss, taste. Add more vinegar and salt til it is delicious. Some add a touch of olive oil once the potatoes are cool. And pepper if you like.

I also made the BEST simplest Cole slaw dressing, from allrecipes, so simple. For one bag of pre chopped Cole slaw mix:

1/2 c mayo
2 tbsp white sugar
1.5 tbsp lemon juice (I just used the juice of one lemon)
1 tbsp vinegar
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp salt (I used a scant 1/2 tsp sea salt and it was perfect)

I prefer Asian slaw without mayo, but people wanted the American style, and hey, it was our Independence Day. This was the best American cole slaw I’ve tasted. Lovely tang.

Thanks so much. We ought the pre-made coleslaw salad, but bought a bottle of dressing for it. We didn’t like it, and I will save your recipe!
