I love cucumber salads (basically just cucumber and onion and sesame seeds, as served in Japanese restaurants and Jewish delis. Very refreshing. Love good coleslaw, which is surprisingly hard to find, and love good potato salad (ditto). I've had very good macaroni salad, but if there's too much mayo I can't do it. As you know, I love the California Chicken Cafe chicken and pasta salad with scallions in thousand island instead of straight mayo, and I love good chicken salad and egg salad, not that those are really side dishes.
