7 steps
1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage and shredded carrots. Toss gently to mix evenly.

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, Dijon mustard, celery seed, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and well combined.

3

Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture.

4

Using a large spoon or tongs, gently toss all the ingredients together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.

5

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the coleslaw to an airtight container.

6

Refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together. For best results, refrigerate for 2-4 hours.
