Instructions
Thinly slice the green cabbage and red cabbage using a sharp knife or mandoline. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the carrots, then shred them using a box grater or food processor. Add the shredded carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.
Core and thinly slice the red bell pepper into matchstick-sized pieces. Add to the bowl.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and mix it into the vegetables.

Pour the vinaigrette over the vegetables and toss thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly coated.
