A refreshing and tangy coleslaw with a hint of celery seed, perfect for any gathering.
Shred the cabbage into thin strips and place in a large mixing bowl.
Use a sharp knife or a mandoline for evenly thin slices.
Grate the carrots and add them to the bowl with the cabbage.
Grating the carrots finely ensures they mix well with the cabbage.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, cider vinegar, celery seed, sugar, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture.
Ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Mix everything thoroughly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Serve the slaw chilled as a side dish or topping.
Garnish with a sprinkle of celery seed or fresh herbs for presentation.
