Remove the outer leaves from the red cabbage, cut it into quarters, and remove the core. Slice the cabbage quarters thinly into shreds using a sharp knife or mandolin.
Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or food processor.
Slice the green onions thinly, including both the white and green parts.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded red cabbage, grated carrots, and sliced green onions.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, celery seed, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss well to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the coleslaw to an airtight container.
Refrigerate the coleslaw for at least one hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Stir the coleslaw before serving and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve chilled.
