Instructions

Combine the shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, and 1 tablespoon kosher salt in a mesh colander set over a large bowl. Allow it to rest for 1 hour.
Once the cabbage mixture has rested, discard the collected water and dry the bowl. Rinse the cabbage and carrots and thoroughly dry them using a salad spinner or paper towels. Return the dried mixture to the large bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar and granulated sugar until the sugar dissolves. Add the mayonnaise, celery seed, and season with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrots according to your preference and season to taste with additional salt and pepper.
Cover the mixture and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. Stir the coleslaw before serving. The coleslaw can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Notes

Adjust the amount of dressing based on your moisture preference in the cabbage.
For best flavor, let the coleslaw chill for a few hours before serving.
Coleslaw can be served as a side dish for various main courses.
