Instructions

Cut the cabbage into eighths so you have small wedges. Use your knife to "spread" or slice the cabbage into thin strips and add it into a large bowl.
In a glass jar or container with a tight fitting lid, combine the mayo, honey, lemon juice, vinegar, celery seed, ground mustard, salt and pepper.
Shake well, making sure the honey gets incorporated into the dressing, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Toss the shredded cabbage and carrot together. Pour in desired amount of dressing, toss and serve immediately!

Notes

Tips for making in advance: I like to make everything ahead and refrigerate separately. Then simply toss together right before I set it out to serve.
