Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, then quarter it and cut out the core. Finely shred the cabbage using a sharp knife, mandoline, or food processor and place it into 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 shredded cabbage.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrots, then toss thoroughly to coat all the vegetables evenly.
Cover the coleslaw and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, let it chill for 1-2 hours.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a final stir and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Serve cold as a side dish for barbecue, sandwiches, or any meal in need of a fresh and tangy complement.
