Remove the outer leaves from the cabbage and cut it into quarters. Remove the core and finely shred each quarter. Transfer the shredded cabbage to a large mixing bowl.
Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or food processor. Add the grated carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.
Peel the red onion and finely slice it. Separate the slices into thin strands and add them to the cabbage and carrots in the mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the white vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, celery seeds, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined and the dressing is emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture. Toss everything together until the cabbage, carrots, and onions are fully coated with the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, toss the coleslaw again to redistribute the dressing. Serve chilled.
