Ingredients

Tips & Substitutions
For a tangier dressing, consider using apple cider vinegar instead of regular vinegar; it adds a nice depth of flavor. If you don't have celery seed, finely chopped fresh celery can be a good substitute. To enhance the dressing's flavor, let it sit for a few hours before serving to allow the ingredients to meld. This dressing is versatile and can also work well as a dip for fresh veggies.
Serving Suggestions
This Cabbage Celery Dressing pairs beautifully with coleslaw, especially when served alongside grilled meats or as a topping for sandwiches. It also makes a refreshing addition to salads. Consider serving it with Fantastic Green Beans for a delightful side dish. Drizzle over fresh vegetables for added flavor or use it as a marinade for chicken.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Before using, give it a good shake as separation may occur. If you'd like to warm it slightly before serving, do so gently in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly to avoid cooking the oil.
