Notes
- For the most authentic Captain D's flavor, don't skip the celery seed—it's the secret ingredient that gives this coleslaw its distinctive taste. When chopping the cabbage, aim for pieces that are small but not minced. If you're in a hurry, you can use pre-shredded coleslaw mix, but the texture won't be quite the same as the restaurant version.
