Ground mustard is easier to incorporate and still provides flavor.

Slice the vegetables (cabbage, onions, red peppers, cucumbers, and carrots).

Add 1 tablespoon salt to the sliced vegetables and mix well.

Sprinkle in peppercorn and mustard seeds.

Mix water, sugar, salt, and vinegar in a separate bowl.
