Remove the outer leaves from the green and red cabbages and rinse them thoroughly under cold water. Pat dry.
Using a sharp knife or a mandoline, shred the green cabbage and red cabbage into thin strips. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the carrots, then shred them using a box grater or a food processor. Add the shredded carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.
Thinly slice the green onions and add them to the bowl.
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables in the large mixing bowl.
Gently toss the mixture using tongs or a large spoon until all the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary, by adding more salt, pepper, or a little extra honey for sweetness.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Give the coleslaw another toss before serving. Serve chilled as a side dish.
