Thinly slice the half head of red cabbage into very fine shreds using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer for uniformity. Place the shredded cabbage in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the carrot and grate it using a box grater or a food processor. Add the grated carrot to the bowl with the cabbage.
Trim the ends of the green onions and slice them thinly. Add the sliced green onions to the cabbage mixture.
Chop the parsley finely and add it to the bowl for a fresh herbal note.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, prepare the dressing by combining the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, erythritol, celery seed, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until smooth and fully incorporated.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or sweetener if desired.
For the best flavor, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the coleslaw sit in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled and enjoy as a side dish or on top of your favorite low-carb burgers or sandwiches.
