Notes
*Celery Seed: The celery seed is optional. If you have never tried it before, we suggest you try adding a tiny bit in a small bowl before adding it to the entire slaw. It has a strong distinct flavor. Most likely you will either love it or hate it. ?
*Miso: We used Miso Master Organic Mellow White Premium Lite Miso, Certified Gluten Free. Miso really lends itself to balancing flavors when you don’t use oil. You can also substitute with chickpea miso for a soy free version.
*Sea Salt: Please adjust the sea salt based upon your family’s sea salt preferences and/or based upon dietary needs.
*Makes: 4 to 5 servings
*Storage: Refrigerate, use within 5 days.
