Using a sharp knife or a food processor, finely shred the green cabbage until you have about 5 cups. You can also use pre-shredded cabbage if desired for convenience.
Peel and grate the carrot. Add it to the shredded cabbage in a large mixing bowl. Carrot is optional in this low-carb version; you can reduce its quantity or omit if you're strictly monitoring carbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, celery seed, powdered erythritol, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture.
Toss everything together using tongs or a large spoon until the cabbage is well coated with the dressing.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 1 hour. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the coleslaw to chill.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a good stir and taste to adjust the seasoning if needed.
Serve cold as a side dish with your favorite low-carb main course.
