Instructions
Remove the outer layers of the cabbage if they are discolored or wilted. Cut the cabbage in half, and remove the core. Thinly slice the cabbage into fine shreds or use a food processor.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, sliced red bell pepper, and sliced red onion. Toss to mix evenly.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, celery seed, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the vinegar dressing over the vegetables in the large bowl. Toss the vegetables and dressing together until the coleslaw is evenly coated.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled.
