Instructions

Combine the shredded cabbage, carrots, and 1 tablespoon of kosher salt in a mesh colander placed over a large bowl. Allow it to sit for 1 hour.
Afterward, discard the water that has collected. Rinse the cabbage and carrots, then dry them thoroughly using a salad spinner or by patting between paper towels on a baking sheet. Return the dried mixture to the bowl.
In a separate bowl, mix together the apple cider vinegar and granulated sugar until the sugar has dissolved. Whisk in the mayonnaise, celery seed, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrots according to your taste preferences; you may not need all the dressing depending on the moisture level of the cabbage. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Cover the coleslaw and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Stir before serving. The coleslaw can be stored covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Notes

For added flavor, let the coleslaw chill overnight before serving.
Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of sugar in the dressing.
Use fresh ingredients for the best taste.
