Using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer, thinly slice the green cabbage and red cabbage. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the shredded carrot and diced ham to the bowl with the cabbage.
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and use tongs or a wooden spoon to thoroughly mix until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding more salt, pepper, or a splash of vinegar for extra tang.
Optional: Fold in chopped parsley for an extra pop of color and freshness.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container and let the coleslaw chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve cold as a side dish, sandwich topping, or light salad.
