Thinly slice the green cabbage and red cabbage, and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the carrots and cut them into thin matchsticks, then add them to the mixing bowl with the cabbage.
Seed the red bell pepper and slice it into thin strips. Add the bell pepper to the bowl.
Thinly slice the green onions and roughly chop the cilantro. Add both to the bowl.
Add the pumpkin seeds to the vegetable mixture for an extra crunch.
In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to form a dressing.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss well to ensure everything is coated evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to your preference.
Let the slaw sit for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
