Grilled Brats on Pretzel Buns

Directions

Place shredded cabbage mix in a glass bowl.
Bring to boil in a saucepan the sugar, vinegar, oil, salt, and celery seed. Stir and remove from heat. Pour over cabbage mix and toss well. Cover and chill until ready to use.
In a small bowl, mix together the mustard and Sriracha sauce. Taste and adjust to your personal taste. Set aside.
Grill Brats on an outdoor grill or indoors in a grill pan until puffy and juicy. (Always cook thawed links until center is no longer pink and the internal temperature has achieved 170° F.)
Serve on split pretzel hot dog buns on a bed of wilted slaw and a slather of Sriracha-mustard and any of your favorite sides…additional slaw, potato salad, pickles.

Notes

You can now find pretzel buns at most supermarkets. They add an extra layer of flavor to these Brats. Perfect for the upcoming summer holidays!

Looking for durable, reusable, affordable napkins? Pick up some bandanas from any home goods store. They look great on a picnic table and can be laundered and used for years! The perfect look for summer.

There are such great salad and slaw mixes now available in supermarkets these days. I used a mix of cabbages, kale, shredded broccoli, and onions for this slaw - but just plain shredded cabbage works too.
