Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage head
Cut the cabbage in half
Place one half on a cutting board and slice it into thin shreds using a sharp knife or a food processor with a shredding or slicing attachment.
Repeat the process with the other half of the cabbage.
If desired, mix red and green cabbage for a visually appealing and flavorful coleslaw.
In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of celery seeds.

Whisk the ingredients together until well combined. Make sure the sugar is dissolved and the dressing is smooth and creamy.
Once the dressing is ready, you can taste and adjust the flavors according to your preference. Add more sugar for extra sweetness, Dijon mustard for a tangier kick, or apple cider vinegar for a brighter acidity.
Start the assembling by taking the shredded cabbage and carrots and placing them in a large bowl.

Gradually pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrots, ensuring that every piece is coated. Toss everything together gently, using two forks or salad tongs, until the dressing is well distributed throughout the slaw.
Once the cabbage and carrots are evenly coated in the dressing, the assembly process is complete. Your coleslaw is now ready to be served and enjoyed.
