Thinly slice the green and red cabbages and place them into a large mixing bowl.
Shred the carrot using a box grater or julienne peeler and add it to the bowl.
Chop the green onions and fresh cilantro, then add these to the cabbage and carrot mix.
In a small dry skillet over medium heat, toast the sliced almonds and sesame seeds for 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown. Stir frequently and be careful not to burn them.
Add the toasted almonds and sesame seeds to the vegetable mixture.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, soy sauce (or coconut aminos), rice vinegar, sesame oil, lime juice, grated ginger, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the slaw mixture and toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Let the slaw sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish or a light salad.
