Thinly slice 6 cups of green cabbage using a sharp knife or mandoline, and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and grate the 2 medium carrots. Add the grated carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.
Thinly slice half a medium red onion and add to the cabbage and carrots in the bowl.
In a separate small bowl, combine 0.5 cup of apple cider vinegar, 0.25 cup of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, and 1 teaspoon of celery seed.
Mix the vinegar, sugar, mustard, and celery seed until the sugar is dissolved.
Add 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper to the vinegar mixture.
Slowly whisk in 0.25 cup of olive oil until the dressing is well combined and slightly thickened.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld.
Before serving, toss the coleslaw again to redistribute the dressing. Serve chilled.
