Thinly slice the green cabbage and purple cabbage into shreds using a sharp knife or mandoline. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

In a separate small mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold the capers into the dressing, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
