You have to watch the grated celeriac doesn't go brown before you've had a chance to include. Placing it in water with lemon should do the trick.

So now we've really moved past american food, lol. These fancy slaws are all nice and good but a hot dog needs some plain cabbage on it.

well since coleslaw didn't start off as an American dish , it can't hurt to play around with it.
the original Dutch koolsa(koolsalada) could have leeks or even raisins in it.

Oh yes I had forgotten about raisins in slaw !
I used to put them in when I made it in the 70's along with some toasted sunflower seeds ( very health shop

I'm not talking about holding back on making slaw, I'm talking about slaw for a hot dog. Totally different. In the south-east united states where they put slaw on dogs it is usually a very basic slaw that compliments the spicy chili.
