Core the green and red cabbages, then use a sharp knife or mandoline slicer to thinly shred them into a large mixing bowl.
Peel the carrot and grate it using a box grater or food processor. Add the grated carrot to the bowl with the cabbages.
Dice the red bell pepper into small, bite-sized pieces and thinly slice the green onions. Add both to the vegetable mixture.
In a smaller bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetable mixture and toss thoroughly to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Cover the coleslaw and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a quick toss and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed. Serve chilled as a side dish or topping for sandwiches and barbecue plates.
