Crisp green cabbage gets salted and drained until perfectly crunchy, then tossed with grated carrot and thinly sliced scallion greens for color and bite. The dressing whisks up creamy and tangy, with apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and celery seed giving it that classic sharp edge instead of any sweetness. A short rest in the fridge lets the cabbage soften just enough while everything melds into one cohesive, well-seasoned slaw. It's an easy make-ahead side that holds up well on a plate next to barbecue, sandwiches, or grilled anything. Straightforward and reliably crunchy, this version fits neatly into an added sugar free spread.
