Begin by shredding the green cabbage and carrots. Use a sharp knife, mandoline slicer, or food processor to achieve thin, uniform shreds.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and carrots. Toss them together to mix evenly.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, prepare the dressing. Whisk together the mayonnaise, white vinegar, granulated sugar, Dijon mustard, celery seed, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture. Using tongs or a large spoon, toss everything together until the dressing evenly coats the vegetables.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the coleslaw to chill.
Before serving, give the coleslaw one final toss to redistribute the dressing. Serve cold as a side dish or on top of sandwiches or burgers.
