Start by preparing the vegetables. Finely shred the green cabbage to measure about 4 cups.
Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or a food processor with a grating attachment.
Thinly slice the red onion into small pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and sliced red onion. Toss them together 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 mixed vegetables. Use tongs or a large spoon to thoroughly toss the vegetables with the dressing, ensuring everything is well coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or vinegar to suit your preference.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled as a side dish or as a topping for burgers or sandwiches.
