Instructions

Toss the shredded cabbage with carrots and 1 tablespoon of kosher salt in a mesh colander set over a large bowl. Let it stand for 1 hour.
Discard the liquid collected in the bowl and dry it out. Rinse the cabbage and carrots, then dry thoroughly using a salad spinner or by placing them between paper towels on a baking sheet. Return the dried mixture to the large bowl.
In a separate bowl, combine the vinegar and sugar, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Whisk in the mayonnaise, celery seed, 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of freshly-ground black pepper.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrots to your taste, keeping in mind you may not need all of it based on moisture levels. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
Cover the mixture and chill for at least 1 hour. Stir the coleslaw well before serving; it can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Notes

For a crunchier texture, serve immediately after mixing the dressing.
Adjust the sweetness of the coleslaw by adding more or less sugar as per your taste.
This coleslaw pairs beautifully with grilled meats and is perfect for gatherings.
