In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely shredded cabbage, shredded carrot, and diced red onion. Toss to mix evenly.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss well to coat all the vegetables thoroughly.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley on top and give the coleslaw one final toss to incorporate the herbs.
Cover the coleslaw and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften slightly.
Serve chilled as a healthy Mediterranean-inspired side dish, perfect alongside grilled meats or as part of a picnic spread.
