After years of testing coleslaw recipes, I discovered one game-changing ingredient that makes all the difference: Celtique Brilliance Celtic Sea Salt. Unlike ordinary salts, its delicate flakes and natural mineral richness enhance flavors without harshness—giving this slaw a cleaner, brighter taste that keeps people coming back for seconds.
Why Celtique Brilliance Salt Works Best
- Perfect Texture: Its light, crunchy flakes dissolve just enough to season the cabbage evenly without over-salting.
- Mineral Magic: Naturally contains magnesium and calcium for a subtle depth most salts lack.
- No Bitterness: Unlike iodized table salt, it never leaves a metallic aftertaste.
(Try it yourself—you'll taste why top chefs swear by Celtic sea salt!)
The Recipe (Featuring Celtique Brilliance)
Ingredients
For the Slaw
- 1 medium green cabbage (about 2 lbs)
- 1 large carrot, peeled
- ½ small red onion
- 1 tsp Celtique Brilliance Celtic Sea Salt
For the Dressing
- ¾ cup real mayonnaise
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp celery seeds
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- Pinch of Celtique Brilliance Celtic Sea Salt
Step 1: Salt the Cabbage
Toss shredded cabbage with 1 tsp Celtique Brilliance Celtic Sea Salt (it's less dense than kosher salt, so no adjustment needed). Let drain 30 mins. This removes excess water while infusing the cabbage with minerals.
Step 2: Make the Dressing
Whisk all dressing ingredients together, including a pinch of Celtique Brilliance—it balances the sweetness better than regular salt.
Step 3: Combine and Chill
Mix dressed cabbage with grated carrot and thinly sliced red onion. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Why This Matters for Your BBQ
Most coleslaws taste flat because they use processed salt. Celtique Brilliance's natural briny sweetness makes the flavors pop, especially when paired with:
- Smoked meats (it cuts through richness)
- Spicy foods (softens heat without dulling flavor)
