Ingredients
- 4 cups (shredded) Green cabbage

- 1 small (thinly sliced) Red onion

Instructions
Prepare the vegetables: Finely shred the green and red cabbage and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Thinly slice the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and red onion. Add them to the bowl with the cabbage.
Grate the carrots and add them to the bowl with the rest of the vegetables.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, prepare the creamy coleslaw dressing by combining mayonnaise, sour cream, white vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, celery seeds, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and well-blended.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture. Using tongs or a large spoon, gently toss all the ingredients together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Prior to serving, give the coleslaw a quick toss and taste to adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve chilled as a side dish with your favorite main course.
