Prepare the Corn: If using fresh corn, carefully slice the kernels off the cob. You should have about 2 cups. Set aside.
Mix the Veggies: In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh corn, crab meat, green cabbage, red cabbage, red bell pepper, cilantro, and green onions. Toss gently to combine, ensuring the crab meat remains intact.
Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Combine: Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture. Gently fold the dressing into the slaw until well coated.
Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Serve: Give the slaw one last gentle toss before serving.
