I believe that cole slaws made with vinegar are called Carolina slaws. I'm not sure. All I know is that my husband can't stand anything in a "mayonnaise bath" and I can't stand a summer without cole slaw and potato salad next to my burgers and dogs. This is the middle ground I came up with. Happily, Kevin loves it!
Kevin's Special Cole Slaw
1 medium head cabbage, sliced thin or shredded
3 large carrots, shredded
1 cup vinegar
2 tblsp spicy brown mustard
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup olive oil
salt and pepper
Toss cabbage with 1 tblsp salt and let sit for 1 hour. Drain liquid and rinse and dry cabbage. Put cabbage and carrots in serving bowl. In a separate bowl, mix vinegar, mustard, and sugar. While whisking the vinegar mixture, drizzle in olive oil. Pour mixture over cabbage and carrots. Mix thoroughly and salt and pepper to taste.

Jess, I made a potato salad out of my america's test kitchen book that was vinegar based. it's a french potato salad. it was basically sliced red potatoes, boiled for about 5 min til soft, then tossed with chopped red onion, fresh parsley and a dressing made of oil, red wine vinegar, dijon mustard and salt and pepper. You first add 3 tbsp of vinegar to the cooked potatoes and chill them for 20 min before adding the main dressing and onion. very yummy!
That sounds awesome! I'll have to try it next. I wonder what the difference is between french and german potato salad.
