Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise as the base ingredient, ensuring it provides a creamy foundation for the dressing.

Tips
- Use high-quality mayonnaise for the best flavor and creamiest texture.
- For a zestier kick, consider using fresh minced garlic instead of garlic powder.
- Adjust the honey quantity to control the sweetness level to your liking.
- Let the dressing sit in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and intensify.
- If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a splash of water or extra apple cider vinegar.
- This versatile dressing works great not just on cabbage and Brussels sprouts, but also as a dip or sauce for other vegetables.
- Always taste and adjust seasoning before serving to ensure the perfect balance of flavors.
