Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Veggies
Shred the cabbage finely (a mandoline slicer works great here). Grate the carrots and dice the onion. Add everything to a large mixing bowl.
Step 2: Make the Dressing
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, sugar, celery seed, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Toss It All Together
Pour the dressing over the shredded cabbage mixture. Toss thoroughly until every piece is coated in creamy goodness.
Step 4: Chill & Serve
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld together. Serve cold as a side dish or topping.
