Ingredients
- 4 cups (finely shredded) Green cabbage
- 1 cup (shredded) Carrot
- 0.25 cup (finely diced) Red onion
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar

Instructions
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.
