Shred 2 cups of green cabbage and 2 cups of red cabbage finely using a knife or a mandolin slicer and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and grate the large carrot, then add it to the mixing bowl with the cabbages.
Slice the red and green bell peppers into thin strips and add them to the bowl.
Chop the scallions into fine rounds and roughly chop the parsley, adding both to the mix.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the low-fat plain yogurt, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and gently toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated.
Cover the slaw and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, give the slaw a quick toss and adjust seasoning if necessary.
