Finely shred the green cabbage and red cabbage using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and julienne the carrots, then add them to the bowl with the shredded cabbage.
Dice the red bell pepper into small, bite-sized pieces and add them to the bowl.
Thinly slice the green onions and mix them in with the other vegetables.
In a separate small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, poppyseeds, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss thoroughly to coat all the vegetables evenly.
Taste the slaw and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.
Cover and refrigerate the slaw for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Give it one final toss before serving as a fresh, colorful side dish or topping.
