Remove the outer leaves from the green and red cabbages, and cut them in half. Remove the core from each half.
Thinly slice both cabbages into shreds using a sharp knife or a mandoline. Place the shredded cabbage in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the carrots and shred them using a box grater. Add the shredded carrots to the mixing bowl.
Remove the seeds and core from the red bell pepper, and slice it into thin strips. Add to the bowl.
Slice the green onions thinly and chop the fresh cilantro leaves, adding both to the bowl with the other vegetables.
Add the chopped almonds to the bowl, mixing all the vegetables together evenly.
In a separate small bowl, combine the apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and black pepper, whisking thoroughly to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture, and toss everything together until all the ingredients are well coated and combined.
Let the slaw sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
Serve as a refreshing side dish or as a crunchy topping for sandwiches or tacos.
