- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar

Instructions
Begin by preparing the vegetables. Thinly slice 6 cups of green cabbage and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and grate the 2 medium carrots, then add them to the bowl with the cabbage.
Finely slice half of a medium red onion and combine with the cabbage and carrots.

Add 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, 0.5 teaspoon of celery seeds, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper to the dressing. Whisk until smooth.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture. Toss thoroughly to ensure all vegetables are well coated.
