Fire and Ice Salad

This fire and ice salad has some spicy kick for sure. And crunch. It’s very good with just the right amount of vinegar (too much can be… too much!). Mustard seed and celery seed add a nice pickling flavor.

Celery Seed Adds So Much

This fire and ice salad would be fantastic on fish tacos (you might want to cut the cukes down a bit) or a pulled pork BBQ sandwich. And you might not think it, but it’s fantastic on top of grilled hot dogs. They need that crunchy contrast. A lot.

I’ve become a big fan of celery seed. It really kicks up salads, such as slaws or this fresh garden salad. Celery seed also finds its way into may of my rubs and seasonings, including my favorite Fire-Eater rub.
