Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and cut it in half. Trim out the core and finely shred the cabbage using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Place the shredded cabbage in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor. Add the grated carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.
Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the cabbage mixture. Gently toss these vegetables together until well combined.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, celery seed, sea salt, and black pepper to form the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss gently but thoroughly to ensure all the vegetables are coated with the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften slightly.
Before serving, toss the coleslaw again to redistribute the dressing.
