1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Combine vinegar, onion, sugar, celery seeds, salt, mustard, pepper and garlic in a small bowl. Add oil in a fine steady stream, whisking to blend. Chill, covered, for 1 hour or longer. Combine the cabbage and cheese in a bowl and toss to mix. Chill, covered, for 1 hour. Drizzle vinegar mixture over cabbage, toss gently and serve.
