Prep the vegetables — In a large bowl, combine the shredded red cabbage, apple, red onion, and grated carrot. Toss lightly to mix.

Make the dressing — In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, mustard, celery seed, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness or tang to your liking.

Step 3

Combine — Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture. Toss thoroughly until every piece is evenly coated.

Step 4

Chill — Cover and refrigerate for at least 20–30 minutes (or up to 4 hours) so the flavors meld and the slaw gets nice and cold. Give it one more toss before serving.
