In a large mixing bowl, combine the green cabbage, red cabbage, grated carrots, red onion, and chopped walnuts.
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture.
Toss the coleslaw thoroughly until all the vegetables are evenly coated in the dressing.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if desired.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together. This step is optional but recommended.
Before serving, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if using.
Serve chilled and enjoy your Walnut Coleslaw as a delightful side dish!
