I make mayo using olive oil and lemon juice. It's quick and simple, and store-bought doesn't even compare. I don't use it on everything, but it is great in potato salad. I add rosemary and roasted garlic. Use just enough mayo to bind the ingredients. I sometimes sprinkle on some bacon, pancetta, or dry-cured Spanish chorizo.

The EVOO mayo is what makes it. That said, I have also made potato salad with straight up olive oil, which is the traditional Italian method, but quite different from typical American potato salad. Lots of recipes online.

I also like to make a potato salad with sour cream, which is what I am usually requested to make when I have to bring a dish. Load it up with chives or green onion instead of rosemary.

I've tried greek yogurt, which I often use as a sour cream substitute for Mexican dishes, but it's not my favorite in a potato salad.

I wonder how many people that don't care for mayo have tried home-made? I personally avoid any products that include unhealthy canola and soybean oils, which rules out a lot of commercial dressings.

Its just a old recipe Mom made a couple of times. It was alright. It might be fine just tossed. I just Googled "sweet cabbage slaw" and the first two links are fresh cabbage tossed with honey or sugar with vinegar, and one with lime, sesame and cilantro, lots of interesting options out there

I hafta admit that just mixing and then mixing the mix (huh?) into the coleslaw sounds fresher and crunchier.
