Thinly slice the green and red cabbage using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Peel and julienne the carrot, then add it to the bowl with the cabbage.
Deseed and thinly slice the red bell pepper. Add the slices to the bowl.
Chop the green onions and fresh cilantro, then mix them into the bowl with the other veggies.
Add the sunflower seeds to the bowl and toss the vegetables together until well combined.
In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss everything together until the slaw is evenly coated.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the slaw for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled.
