Combine cider vinegar, vegetable oil, sugar, chopped garlic, grated ginger and crushed red pepper in a large bowl. Stir well until sugar has dissolved.
Pile shredded cabbage and grated carrots on top of dressing and toss until blended. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to serve.
This was a good cabbage salad, but not the greatest. I must say that I don't like uncooked ginger so I omited that, and I also put cayenne pepper instead of red crushed. I would make again. It's very refreshing.
