In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, shredded red cabbage, and grated carrot. Toss them all together to ensure an even mix.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the plain low-fat Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, celery seed, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and well combined.
Pour the yogurt dressing over the mixed vegetables in the large mixing bowl. Toss everything together until the cabbage and carrots are fully coated with the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld. For best results, allow the coleslaw to chill for a few hours.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a good stir and taste for seasoning, adjusting salt and pepper if necessary.
Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish.
