Mom’s potato salad was delicious but it wasn’t Richmond Potato Salad. Mom didn’t know the secret to this recipe or she would have used it too.

This is the best potato salad I have had or made for that matter. The trick to the entire recipe is the addition of egg yolks into the mayonnaise and mixing will.

So simple but what a difference.

Blissful in my book. Now my go-to recipe!!

A great spring recipe that my mom made but she didn’t include the special ingredient that’s in this recipe. You can’t believe what a difference it makes!

Excellent, a very refreshing salad.

Nutmeg is the twist that that makes this special. This cucumber salad is oh so good! I actually ate some of this for breakfast.

It’s Spring Special Cucumber Salad

Ingredients

1 English cucumber, thinly sliced
1⁄2 cup sliced onion
3 -4 tablespoons salt
1⁄2 cup vinegar
1⁄4 cup oil
1 tablespoon sugar
nutmeg
pepper

Directions

Sprinkle the salt over the cucumber slices and allow to sit for several hours, shaking occasionally.

Wash the salt off the cucumbers.

In a separate bowl, mix the oil, vinegar, sugar, salt (to taste), and pepper (to taste). Sprinkle with nutmeg.

Add the cucumber and onion slices and mix well.

Chill thoroughly before serving. The longer it sits the better it tastes!

Of everything that I made for dinner that night, this is the one that I really didn’t think would go over well and as it turned out this is the one most liked!

You really need to give this Cracker Salad Recipe a try. Don’t overthink the name. Just try it!

Sounds weird but this cracker salad recipe is a must try.

Course: Salad

Cuisine: American

Keyword: Cracker Salad

Servings: 4

Calories: 195 kcal

Ingredients

• 1 14 1/2 oz can whole tomatoes
• 1 sleeve saltine crackers crushed (leave a bit chunky)
• 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 6 large eggs hard-boiled, chopped
• 1 medium onion chopped
• 1 medium bell pepper chopped
• salt and pepper

Instructions

1. Pour the tomatoes (including the juice) in a large bowl. Using your hands, squeeze each tomato through your fingers (be careful you don't squirt the juice on you -- I poke each one good with my fingers gently before I commence squeezing) until they look crushed but still chunky.
2. To the tomatoes, add remaining ingredients and stir. If appears to dry for you, add a little more mayo.
3. Salt and pepper to taste.

Tips and Tidbits

Yes, you can buy already crushed tomatoes but I don’t like their texture — almost like a sauce instead of crushed tomatoes.

Cracker Salad tastes just as great either freshly made or after being refrigerated.

Some people say they just don’t like broccoli. But Before you decide you won’t like this broccoli salad, try it. It’s easy to make.

And like they say nothing ventured, nothing gained.

There’s something about this salad recipe that’s more than the sum of its parts. Even those people that say they don’t even like broccoli love this stuff.

I think it has to do with the combination of ingredients. You’ve got sweet and sour with the sugar and vinegar. And you have texture variations with the chewiness of the raisins, the crunch of the almonds, and the crispiness of the broccoli and onion.

Don’t forget the bacon. Everything tastes better with bacon!!!

Altogether it’s a real crowd-pleasing salad that will be a huge hit, not only at home but as a pot luck dinner dish.

Even those that say they hate broccoli love this salad.

Course: Salad

Cuisine: American

Keyword: Summer Broccoli Salad

Servings: 6

Calories: 215 kcal

Ingredients

• 2 heads fresh broccoli
• 1 red onion
• 1/2 pound bacon
• 3/4 cup raisins
• 3/4 cup sliced almonds
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

Instructions

1. Place the bacon in a deep skillet and cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Cool and crumble.

2. Cut the broccoli into bite-size pieces and cut the onion into thin bite-size slices. Combine with the bacon, raisins, almonds, and mix well.

3. To prepare the dressing, mix the mayonnaise, sugar, and vinegar together until smooth. Stir into the salad, let chill, and serve.

Tips and Tidbits

This is a good ‘base’ recipe to which you can add many things. In the past, I have added seedless purple grapes, diced apples, and varied the nuts with chopped walnuts or pecans.

Reduce the mayo by about a third and replace the sugar with Splenda and you have a lower calorie version.

Adding some chopped raw cauliflower makes this salad even better.

Enjoy!
