Finely shred the green cabbage until you have about 4 cups, then place it in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and grate 1 cup of carrot and combine it with the shredded cabbage.
Finely shred 1 cup of red cabbage and add it to the mixing bowl with the green cabbage and carrot.
In a small bowl, whisk together the vegan mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and celery seed until smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the shredded cabbage and carrot mixture.
Using large spoons or tongs, toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a quick toss to redistribute the dressing.
Serve chilled as a side dish.
