In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, and shredded carrots.
Add the sliced red bell pepper and green onions to the cabbage and carrot mixture. Toss to combine.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard until the honey is dissolved.
Slowly add the olive oil to the vinegar mixture, whisking continuously until the dressing is well-blended and emulsified.
Add the ground black pepper and celery seeds to the dressing and whisk again to distribute evenly.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss well until all the vegetables are coated.
Let the coleslaw sit for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Toss again before serving.
