Start by preparing the vegetables. Thinly slice the green cabbage and red cabbage to yield about 4 cups and 2 cups, respectively. You can use a sharp knife or a food processor with a slicing attachment.
Peel and grate the carrot using a box grater or a food processor. You will need about 1 medium carrot.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced green cabbage, red cabbage, and grated carrot. Toss the vegetables together until well mixed.
In a separate medium bowl, prepare the coleslaw dressing. Whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, erythritol or keto-friendly sweetener, and celery seed.
Season the dressing with salt and black pepper. Whisk the mixture until smooth and all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture. Use a pair of salad tongs or two large forks to toss the salad thoroughly, ensuring every piece is coated with the dressing.
Taste the coleslaw and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or sweetener according to your preference.
Chill the coleslaw in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.
Serve the coleslaw cold as a side dish. It pairs perfectly with keto-friendly barbecue or grilled meat.
