That's one reason I can never have cole slaw when
we eat out.

I always laugh to DH and call it sugar slaw. Some of those recipes use 1/2 a cup of sugar in the mix.

There are the mayo slaws and the German pickled type and they're both good if made at home.

I also love the idea of adding the celery seed. It just adds that "Je Ne Sais Quis"

I always use celery seed when I make marinated cucumbers and also Dill Weed. -also use both in my chicken salads.

Both of those recipes above sound great!
