In a large mixing bowl, combine the green cabbage, purple cabbage, and shredded carrots.
Add the dried cranberries and chopped pecans to the bowl. Toss gently to mix evenly.
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss thoroughly to coat all ingredients evenly.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a quick toss, and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Serve chilled as a side dish or as a topping for sandwiches or tacos.
