- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1.5 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Celery seed
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
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.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture.
Using a large spoon or tongs, gently toss all the ingredients together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
