Creating creamy coleslaw is straightforward. Follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Vegetables: Begin by shredding the cabbage and grating the carrots. Aim for fine shreds for a more tender coleslaw.
2. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the shredded cabbage and carrots.
3. Make the Dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, celery seed, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
4. Combine Dressing and Vegetables: Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture. Stir well to ensure all the vegetables are coated.
5. Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This helps the flavors meld.
6. Final Toss: Before serving, give the coleslaw a final stir.

These straightforward steps will lead to a creamy coleslaw that is as delicious as it is easy to make!
