Finely shred the green cabbage to yield about 3 cups, and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and grate the carrot, and add it to the bowl with the cabbage.
Thinly slice the red onion into very small pieces, and add it to the vegetable mixture.
Roughly chop the imitation crab (krab) into bite-sized pieces, and add it to the bowl with the vegetables.
In a separate small mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, sugar, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage, carrot, onion, and krab mixture, and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
If using, finely chop fresh dill and sprinkle it over the salad for an added burst of flavor. Toss gently to combine.
Refrigerate the coleslaw salad for at least 20 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
Serve chilled as a side dish or a light main course.
