1. Remove any wilted outer leaves from the cabbage. Slice the cabbage in half, remove the core, and thinly shred it using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer. Place the shredded cabbage in a large mixing bowl.
2. Peel the carrots, then grate them using a box grater or food processor attachment. Add the grated carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.
3. In a separate smaller bowl, combine mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until the dressing is smooth and well incorporated.
4. Pour the dressing over the shredded cabbage and grated carrots. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
5. Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the coleslaw. Gently mix again to distribute the parsley throughout the salad.
6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
7. Serve the Danish coleslaw chilled as a side dish with grilled meats, fish, or sandwiches.
