Colorful Coleslaw
One of the things I enjoy most about being plant based is having the opportunity to explore seasonings that I never really paid attention to in the past. Celery seed is one of those seasonings. I found a great article on Healthline that summarizes the origin and benefits of celery seed. It was very interesting to learn some of the potential health benefits.
If you are a coleslaw fan you will enjoy this recipe. I modified it from how I recall Mom making coleslaw when we were younger. You might want to try some white pepper for an additional kick if you like your coleslaw spicy. I served this with some Pulled "Pork" sandwiches and the combination was a winner. I will share that recipe in a future post. Note: This post contains affiliate links.

Notes
Sometimes a gal/guy needs a helping hand. Feel free to purchase packaged, pre-shredded cabbage, carrots, or coleslaw mix to make this recipe even more simple.
