Begin by removing the outer leaves of the cabbage and rinsing it under cold water. Pat it dry with paper towels.
Cut the cabbage in half, remove the core, and then finely shred it using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer.
Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater.
Peel and thinly slice the red onion into fine strips.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and sliced red onion. Toss to mix evenly.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, celery seed, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss thoroughly to ensure all the vegetables are coated evenly.
Cover the coleslaw and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving to let the flavors meld. For best results, allow it to sit for several hours or overnight.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a quick stir to redistribute the dressing.
Serve chilled as a side dish or as a topping for sandwiches and burgers.
