In a medium bowl, add apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking continuously until the dressing becomes slightly thick and glossy.
Taste and adjust with a little sugar or extra honey if needed.
Add about 5 cups shredded cabbage to a large bowl.
Pour dressing over the cabbage and toss thoroughly to coat evenly.
Let it rest for about 10 minutes before serving so the cabbage softens slightly and absorbs flavor.
