Using a sharp knife, food processor, or mandoline slicer, finely shred the green cabbage, red cabbage, and carrots.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing. Adjust the seasoning to taste if necessary.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, and carrots.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss everything together until evenly coated.
Let the coleslaw sit for at least 10 minutes in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled.
