Marilyn Conway's Celery Seed Cole Slaw

Submitted by Lorraine of AZ

"This is a very old recipe for a very good cole slaw. It is different from most slaws in that it does not have a creamy dressing but more of a sweet and sour dressing. Also, it has the celery seeds dotting the salad completely. This salad is easy to make and easy to eat."
