In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, white vinegar, and granulated sugar.
Whisk the ingredients together until the sugar dissolves and the mixture appears smooth.
Add the Dijon mustard, celery seed, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Continue whisking until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
If the dressing seems too thick, whisk in the milk gradually, one teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency is achieved.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding a pinch more salt, pepper, or sugar to suit your preference.
Pour the dressing over shredded cabbage and carrots, or your preferred cole slaw mix, and toss well to coat.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
