Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, Miracle Whip, celery seed, sugar, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Prepare Coleslaw: Take a head of cabbage and shred it using a food processor. Similarly, shred a carrot using the same food processor.
