MOM'S SIMPLE SALAD
This is a very simple green salad my mom used to put on the table every night. She was able to get kids who never ate their vegetables to love this salad. I think the secret is in the vinaigrette: it's got the perfect level of acidity to balance out all the greens.

Steps:
- For the salad: In a large bowl, add the lettuce, celery, and tomato. Thinly slice the cabbage. Cut the carrots in half lengthwise, then slice. Shave the radishes on a mandoline. Thinly slice the green tops of the onions. Add everything to the bowl and refrigerate while making the vinaigrette.
- For the vinaigrette: In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, add olive oil, vinegar, ½ teaspoon salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Cover and shake. Spoon vinaigrette from the bottom of the jar onto a piece of lettuce and taste.
- Assemble the salad: Season the chilled greens with ¼ teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Give the dressing a stir and then drizzle around the outer edge of the bowl. Gently toss with your hands to combine. Taste one more time, adjust seasoning, and serve.

MOM'S BEST MACARONI SALAD
This is, by far, the best macaroni salad I've ever put into my mouth. It has a perfect blend of sweetness and tartness, and it is so pretty with all of the multi-colored veggies. Be ready for this to disappear before you put it on the table! I have six children, and it is all I can do to keep them from nibbling on it while I'm mixing it up!

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add macaroni, and cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Rinse under cold water, and drain.
- In a large bowl, stir together the carrots, red onion, green pepper, red pepper and celery. Mix in the mayonnaise, condensed milk, sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper. Add the macaroni, toss gently, cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours. I usually make this a day ahead of time, and stir it occasionally to blend the flavors. The macaroni will absorb some of the liquid.

Steps:
- Add the mustard and onion juice to the French dressing. While the vegetables are still warm, marinate them separately, each in 3/4 cup of the dressing. Set to chill for at least an hour.
- To serve, combine the potatoes and beans with the mayonnaise, and put them in a bowl lined with lettuce. Arrange the diced beets over the beans and potatoes. Rice the egg over these and sprinkle all with the chives and dill. Serve with marinated herring, or with thin rye bread sandwiches of cream cheese and anchovy paste.
