Thinly slice the green cabbage and purple cabbage into shreds using a sharp knife or mandoline. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the carrot and grate it using a box grater or food processor. Add the grated carrot to the bowl with the cabbage.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and add it to the bowl.
In a separate small mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold the capers into the dressing, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Taste the coleslaw and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place the coleslaw in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.
Serve the coleslaw cold as a side dish and enjoy!
