Wash and pat dry the vegetables. Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, cut it in half, and core it. Thinly slice the cabbage half into long strands using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer.
Peel the carrot and use a julienne peeler or grater to make thin carrot strips. Set aside.
Peel and thinly slice the red onion, then cut into small, manageable pieces to mix well with the salad.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until fully combined to make the dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced cabbage, julienned carrot, and sliced red onion. Pour the dressing over the vegetables.
Gently toss the salad until all the vegetables are well coated with the dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if necessary.
Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle over the salad as a garnish before serving.
Serve immediately for a crisp texture or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
