In a mixing bowl, whisk together the light mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, granulated sugar, and sea salt until smooth.
Use a whisk to ensure the dressing is well combined and creamy.
On a cutting board, finely shred the green cabbage using a knife or grater.
For a finer texture, use a mandoline slicer to shred the cabbage.
Dice the green bell pepper into small pieces.
Remove the seeds and membrane from the bell pepper for a milder flavor.
Grate the carrots into thin shreds.
Peel the carrots before grating for a smoother texture.
In a large serving bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, diced bell pepper, and grated carrots.
Toss the vegetables gently to mix them evenly.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss until well coated.
Ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing for consistent flavor.
Cover the bowl and chill the slaw in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together for a more delicious taste.
