Instructions

In a mesh colander set over a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage with shredded carrots and 1 tablespoon of kosher salt. Allow to rest for 1 hour.
After an hour, dispose of the accumulated water and dry the bowl. Rinse the cabbage and carrots, then dry thoroughly using a salad spinner or between paper towels. Return the dried mixture to the large bowl.
In a separate bowl, mix apple cider vinegar and granulated sugar, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Add mayonnaise, celery seed, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and whisk until combined.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrots, adjusting the amount based on your moisture preference. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Stir the coleslaw before serving. It can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Notes

For extra crunch, consume the coleslaw within 1-2 days of preparation.
You can adjust the sweetness by modifying the sugar content based on your taste preference.
Feel free to add other ingredients like onions or bell peppers for added flavor.
