Thinly shred the green cabbage and red cabbage using a sharp knife, mandoline, or food processor. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and grate the carrots. Add the grated carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.
In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is well combined and emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture. Using clean hands or tongs, toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Taste the coleslaw and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Cover and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled.
