Thinly slice the green and purple cabbage using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Add the cabbage to a large mixing bowl.
Peel and grate the carrots. Slice the red onion thinly into slivers. Add both to the bowl with the cabbage.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, olive oil, celery seeds, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is well combined.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables in the bowl.
Using clean hands or tongs, toss everything together until the dressing evenly coats the vegetables.
Let the coleslaw sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.
Serve chilled as a side dish or topping. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
