For a vegan version, use agave syrup instead of honey.
You can substitute shredded cabbage with a pre-made coleslaw mix for convenience.

To make ahead, store the dressing separately and toss with vegetables just before serving to maintain crispness.
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of Sriracha to the dressing.
