5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded red cabbage, carrots, green onions, and chopped cilantro.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, honey, apple cider vinegar, ground cumin, sea salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
7. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss well to coat all the vegetables evenly.
8. Cover the slaw and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
9. Before serving, give the slaw another quick toss and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
