We love the way this classic coleslaw manages to be sweet, savory, tangy, and creamy all in a single bite! Try it on pulled pork sandwiches or as a side to fried fish.

Ingredients
3-1/2 cups finely shredded green or purple cabbage
2 large carrots, peeled and grated
1 green pepper, finely chopped
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 small white or sweet onion, grated
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon white or cider vinegar
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
1 teaspoon whole caraway seeds
Kosher or sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions

In a large bowl, toss together cabbage, carrots, and green pepper. In a small bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients. Pour dressing over vegetables and toss well. Let sit at least 20 minutes before serving.

Can you use Chia seed instead of caraway seed

Hi, Bonnie. Caraway seeds have a very distinct flavor, often described as tasting like licorice. While you can add chia seeds in place of caraway seeds, the flavor will not be the same.

TMI Guys,
I'm just a dude (or dud), I want to do a lot of what you offer. There is a will, but no way, I'm just one guy living in a apartment facing north. Everything you offer is great, if you have a family. If you don't (I don't), well Burger King is easier, not as good, not even close, but you do your best with what you got. Hopefully, as time goes on I might find something I can do, canning is one of my thoughts but botox is always in the back of my mind. Sorry & Thanx, Danny
