Remove the outer leaves from the red and green cabbages. Cut both cabbages into quarters and remove the cores.
Using a sharp knife, shred the red and green cabbages into thin strips. Alternatively, use a mandoline or food processor for evenly sized shreds.
Peel the carrot and grate it using a box grater or food processor.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded red cabbage, green cabbage, and grated carrot. Toss them together to evenly distribute the vegetables.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, celery seed, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture. Use tongs or a spatula to toss everything together until the vegetables are well-coated with the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften slightly.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a final toss to redistribute the dressing. Serve cold as a side dish or topping for sandwiches and burgers. Enjoy!
