In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard.
Whisk the mixture together until smooth and well combined.
Stream in the honey while whisking to incorporate it evenly into the dressing.
Add the granulated sugar, celery seed, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir until the sugar and spices are dissolved.
Gradually add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, whisking to adjust the thickness of the dressing to your preference. It should be smooth and pourable but not runny.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve immediately by tossing with shredded cabbage and carrots, or transfer the dressing to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
