Start by preparing the vegetables. Thinly slice half a head each of green and red cabbage into fine shreds. Place in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and grate the two large carrots. Add them to the cabbage in the mixing bowl.
Slice one red bell pepper into thin strips and add to the bowl.
Chop three stalks of green onions and 0.5 cup of fresh cilantro roughly. Add these to the mix.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the dressing. Combine 0.5 cup of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix until smooth.
Add 1 tablespoon of lime juice to the dressing and mix well.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss until all ingredients are well coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve chilled.
