In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, carrots, and sliced green onions.
Cook the bacon until crispy, then place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces and set aside.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, ranch seasoning mix, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the ranch dressing mixture over the cabbage mixture. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated in the dressing.
Add the crumbled bacon to the coleslaw and gently fold it in.
Cover and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve cold as a flavorful side dish, and enjoy!
