In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and granulated sugar. Whisk together until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Add the Dijon mustard, celery seed, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
Gradually add in the whole milk, one tablespoon at a time, while whisking to achieve the desired consistency. The dressing should be slightly creamy yet pourable.
Taste the dressing and adjust the salt, sugar, or vinegar as needed to balance the flavors to your liking.
Once the dressing is ready, pour it over your prepared shredded coleslaw mix and toss until evenly coated.
Allow the coleslaw to sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
