Remove the outer leaves from the cabbage and slice it in half. Using a sharp knife, finely shred the cabbage or use a food processor with a shredding blade.
Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or food processor.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and grated carrots. Toss well to mix evenly.
In a separate small mixing bowl, whisk together the dairy-free mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, celery seeds, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture. Toss thoroughly to coat all the vegetables in the dressing.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or vinegar if desired.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Give the coleslaw a final toss before serving. Enjoy chilled as a side dish or topping for sandwiches and wraps!
