Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, finely shred the green and red cabbages and place them into a large mixing bowl.
Add the julienned carrots to the bowl with the shredded cabbage.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the ranch dressing, mayonnaise, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and honey until smooth and well combined.
Stir in the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, chopped parsley, celery seed, salt, and black pepper to the dressing mixture.
Gently fold the lump crab meat into the cabbage and carrot mixture, being careful not to break apart the crab meat too much.
Pour the prepared dressing over the slaw and toss gently until everything is evenly coated. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and let the slaw chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, give the slaw a final toss to ensure all ingredients are well distributed. Serve chilled as a side dish or enjoy it as a light seafood entree.
