Instructions
Wash and prepare the green and purple cabbage by shredding them thinly using a sharp knife or a food processor.
Peel and shred the carrots and thinly slice the red bell pepper into strips. Add all the prepared vegetables to a large mixing bowl.
Chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the bowl with the vegetables.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, smoked paprika, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well-combined.
Stir in the fresh lime juice and, if using, the finely minced jalapeño for added spice.
Pour the smoky chili dressing over the prepared vegetables and toss everything together until the coleslaw is evenly coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve chilled as a side dish or topping for your favorite meal.
