This Classic Coleslaw with Celery Seed Dressing is a side dish worthy of the marinated and barbecued meats gracing our picnic plates.
Not the mayonnaise-laden cabbage seen in deli cases, this tangy-sweet homemade dressing with a pop of celery seed lightly coats a rainbow of crunchy vegetables for a memorable barbecue dish.

Celery Seed Dressing Make This Old Stand-by Stand-out
Celery seeds are a great source of calcium and provide an extra punch of flavor your guests will appreciate. The dressing in this recipe is versatile, so feel free to use broccoli stems in place of the cabbage.
TIP: To save a little time, shredded cabbage or broccoli slaw can be purchased already shredded. If using broccoli slaw add a colorful aspect with chopped radicchio, sometimes known as Italian chicory, in place of the red cabbage.
