Wash and peel the beetroots and carrot. Shred them using a box grater or a food processor with a shredding attachment.
Core the green apple and shred it, retaining the skin for extra fiber.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded beetroots, carrot, red cabbage, and green apple.
Add the chopped fresh parsley to the bowl and gently toss all ingredients together.
In a small bowl or a jar with a lid, mix together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper. Whisk or shake well until the dressing is fully combined.
Pour the dressing over the slaw mixture and toss until everything is well coated.
Let the slaw sit for about 10 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a refreshing side dish.
