- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Directions
Step 1
Remove the outer leaves from the cabbage and rinse it under cold water. Slice the cabbage into quarters and cut out the core.
Step 2
Finely shred the cabbage using a sharp knife, food processor, or mandoline. Place the shredded cabbage into a large mixing bowl.

In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, Dijon mustard, celery seed, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrots. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated in the dressing.
