Start by washing and shredding the cabbage and carrots.

In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper.

In a large mixing bowl, add the shredded cabbage and carrots.

Pour the dressing over the vegetables and mix thoroughly.

Taste and adjust sweetness or tanginess as needed.

Cover the slaw and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Give the slaw another good stir before serving.

Optional: sprinkle sliced green onions or chopped parsley on top before serving.
