Shred the cabbage using a sharp knife or food processor. Wash and core the apples, then slice them into matchsticks or cubes. Finely slice the red onion and combine everything in a large mixing bowl.

Add dried cranberries and chopped pecans to the vegetable mixture, gently tossing to combine.

In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth.

Pour the dressing over the vegetables and fold gently until everything is coated.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or place in an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Before serving, gently toss again and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with extra cranberries and pecans if desired.
