Quarter the green cabbage and remove the core. Thinly slice the cabbage into strips and place in a large mixing bowl.

Repeat the same process with the red cabbage and add it to the bowl with the green cabbage.

Step 3

Peel the carrots and then shred them using a grater or food processor attachment. Add the shredded carrots to the mixing bowl.

Slice the red bell pepper in half, remove the seeds and membrane, and slice it into thin strips. Add these to the bowl.

Chop the green onions thinly, using both the white and green parts, and add to the vegetable mix.

Step 6

Roughly chop the fresh cilantro, discarding thick stems, and add to the bowl.

Step 7

Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the vegetable mixture.

Step 8

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.

Step 9

Pour the dressing over the slaw mixture, and toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with dressing.

Taste the slaw and adjust seasoning if necessary. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving for the flavors to meld.
