Instructions

Shred the green and purple cabbage thinly and grate the carrots.
Whisk the dressing from mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and celery seed.
Toss the dressing with the vegetables until evenly coated.
Chill at least 60 minutes so the flavors meld; adjust seasoning before serving.

Notes

For a crisper slaw, season the shredded cabbage with salt and let sit for 10–15 minutes to remove excess moisture. Optional add-ins include green onion, diced apple, Dijon mustard, or jalapeño.
