In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, julienned carrots, and thinly sliced red onion.
In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, and olive oil until well combined.
Add salt, black pepper, and celery seeds to the dressing and whisk again to incorporate the spices.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss to coat all the vegetables evenly with the dressing.
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top and gently fold it into the coleslaw.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, toss the coleslaw once more to evenly distribute any dressing that might have settled at the bottom.
Serve chilled as a side dish or a topping for sandwiches and burgers.
