Remove the outer leaves of the green and red cabbage, then slice both into thin shreds using a knife, mandoline, or food processor. Place the shredded cabbage in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or food processor. Add the grated carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.
Dice the red bell pepper into small pieces and slice the green onions thinly. Add them to the bowl with the other vegetables.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables and toss thoroughly until all the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Cover the coleslaw and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled and enjoy as a side dish or topping for sandwiches, tacos, or grilled meats.
