You can easily make those two things with a vinagrete - do you use vinegar?

Just omit the sesame from the recipe I posted up thread

For potato salad, while potatoes are warm, drizzle with dressing made of: 3 tbsp vinegar, 1 1/2 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp marror, 1/3 cup olive oil, then toss gently and season season with salt and pepper to taste

I can't help with the potato salad, but maybe make a cabbage salad without mayo?

Syrian style potato salad
Boiled potato cut in big chunks
Olive oil
Lemon juice
All Spice (a lot, very important)
Salt
Pepper (to taste)

I dunno, I've found most things people make with mayo go just fine without it, subbing a lesser amount of olive oil instead. For example, pasta salad with mayo I find gross and goopy, but I can use the exact same seasonings with a little oil instead of mayo and it comes out JUST FINE. Veggie salads too. So I don't see why cole slaw and potato salad would be different.

Thanks so much. I have no almonds, allspice or maror!
Any other ideas?

And no scallions.
I should also point out that I have kohlrabi, not cabbage for my salad. I guess any other salad with shredded kohlrabi and the few ingredients I use would be great!
Any other ideas?

I think a dressing of equal amounts sugar, vinegar and oil should be fine for both! Season with salt and pepper to finish off if so inclined.

Instead of having people shooting ideas at you in the dark and rejecting them because you do not use or have the ingredients, would it not be more effective, to say nothing of kinder, to list the ingredients you DO have and ask people to give you ideas what you can make using only those ingredients? You could make it a contest, with the winner getting a small card with her name on your table to the effect of "this salad is served thanks to the generosity of ________ who shared the recipe". You could email her a photo of the salad if you make it on chol hamoed.

The above are ingredients the recipes need. As I went along, I realized that I am pretty limited...
But the idea of giving credit looks good!

if you have an immersion blender it's really useful in making perfect mayo. start w/ the stick ant the bottom of your container slooooowly pull up. by the time you get to the top you should have perfect mayonnaise.
