Remove the outer leaves of the green cabbage and slice it in half. Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, shred the cabbage finely.
Repeat the same process with the half head of red cabbage and set both cabbage types aside in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or a food processor with a grating attachment.
Add the grated carrots to the mixing bowl with the shredded cabbages.
Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips after removing the seeds and pith. Add the sliced bell pepper to the bowl.
Chop the cilantro roughly and thinly slice the green onions. Add both to the mixing bowl for additional freshness.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice and olive oil. Add in the garlic powder, ground black pepper, and salt. Whisk until well-combined to form the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables in the mixing bowl.
Toss the salad well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
Allow the salad to sit for at least 10 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
Serve the shredded cabbage salad fresh or refrigerate for up to 2 days in an airtight container.
