Using a sharp knife or a food processor, finely shred the green cabbage and red cabbage. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and grate the carrot and add it to the bowl with the cabbage.
Core the apple and cut it into thin matchstick-sized pieces. Optionally, you can leave the peel on for extra color and texture. Add the apple to the same mixing bowl.
In a separate small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the honey, apple cider vinegar, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Pour the honey and apple dressing over the cabbage mixture.
Toss everything together thoroughly until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Taste the coleslaw and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if desired.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the vegetables to soften slightly.
Serve chilled as a side dish and enjoy!
